  Fig. 1 Anterior-segment optical coherence tomography image of the patient. (A) Before laser iridotmy, acute angle-closure glaucoma showed bilateral occluded angle. (B) After laser iridotomy, the angle widened, but partial iridotrabecular contact remained. (C) After lens extraction, the remaining iridotrabecular contact was resolved. The authors received written permission from the patient to report the case.
