Angle closure glaucoma, the major cause of blindness, especially in Asian populations, is often caused by a shallow anterior chamber. Indian patients with ACG and shallow AC are examined in this case series in terms of their clinical presentation, treatment, and results. Data from 20 patients were analyzed to provide insights into demographic patterns, clinical features, and treatment efficacy.
