Abstract/OtherAbstract:

PURPOSE: To present the importance of the concepts of Edward J Curran in relation to primary angle-closure glaucoma, and include a biographical sketch. METHOD: An historical method is adopted. RESULTS: Curran's propositions of pupillary obstruction and its relief by peripheral iridotomy were conceded only after 30 years, and had to await laser surgery for fulfillment. CONCLUSIONS: Edward J Curran's name should be enshrined in the history of ophthalmology. |
