A retrospective study of 245 fellow eyes of patients admitted in primary acute angle-closure glaucoma (ACG) is presented. Acute ACG was found in the fellow eye in 25 (10.2%) patients on presentation. Of the remaining 220, 33 (15%) subsequently developed acute ACG before prophylactic surgery was performed. Possible predisposing factors were analyzed. Acute ACG in the fellow eye occurred most frequently in hospital, or during the 1st mo. after discharge if prophylactic surgery was not performed. The instillation of mydriatics in the operated eye increased the risk to the fellow eye. Pilocarpine and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors confer the best protection on the fellow eye, but no medical regimen entirely prevented an attack of acute ACG in the fellow eye.
