Evolving Paradigms in Classification of Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma

PURPOSE: To review the old and existing classification systems for primary angle closure disease. METHODS: Literature review and new proposed classification system. RESULTS: Existing classification systems have several shortcomings which cannot be applied in a clinical setting. This can be addressed by a proposed scoring system. CONCLUSION: A scoring system would be most appropriate for any clinical setting as well as for prognosticating primary angle closure disease.
