Primary Angle Closure Disease (PACD) has been of particular interest to the Asia-Pacific region, not just because of its increased prevalence but its inordinately increased visual debilitation. More recently, clinicians from Asia have completed landmark studies across the whole surgical and laser landscape to determine the correct choice of procedure for each particular scenario. We have distilled this knowledge and set it in context. In this session, delegates will learn to more confidently manage the whole spectrum of PACD.
