New study aims to predict rare eye complication after glaucoma surgery

This study looks at people with primary angle-closure glaucoma who need a specific type of eye surgery. The goal is to find out which patients are at higher risk for a rare but serious complication called ciliary block, where fluid builds up in the wrong part of the eye. Researchers will use standard eye imaging before surgery to measure the eye's structure and then track patients for 12 months after surgery. The results will help surgeons take extra precautions for high-risk patients.
