The authors discuss the decline in acute angle closure (AAC) rates due to rise of laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) and phacoemulsification in Great Britain. They state that a treatable cause of glaucoma can result from greater awareness of AAC. The authors note that the treatment of primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) through LPI has increased.
