- Abstract
The article presents a study which describes the recurrent episodes of acute angle-closure glaucoma (AACG) in a 22-year-old female uveitic patient with PI. The development of AACG is caused by increased aqueous viscosity due to chronic uveitis which increases the resistance in the aperture of the PI and reducing its flow. It implies that the patient's recurring AACG is also caused by high failure rate in uveitis.
