| Acute Angle-Closure Glaucoma | |
| The conjunctiva is injected with superficial and deep vessels dilated (ciliary injection). The cornea has an edematous and irregular epithelium as indicated by the irregular light reflex and also bulla formation. The stroma is hazy. Therefore the view into the anterior chamber is somewhat impeded and the structure of the iris appears washed out. The anterior chamber is very shallow. The distorted pupil does not react to light and is often in mid-dilation because of pupillary block. | |
