This is an observational study following patients who are having surgery to treat angle-closure glaucoma, a type of glaucoma where the eye's drainage system becomes blocked. Researchers will use special imaging scans to carefully track how the eye heals and changes after surgery over a 12-month period. The goal is to understand which surgical approaches work best and how the eye's drainage structures recover.
Currently, doctors don't fully understand how the eye's drainage tissues heal after glaucoma surgery, or how that healing affects whether surgery is successful. This study aims to fill that gap by carefully documenting the healing process, which could help improve surgical techniques and help doctors predict which patients will do better with which procedures.

If you enroll, you will receive one of several types of glaucoma surgery (laser-based, surgical, or combined with cataract surgery) chosen by your doctor based on your specific condition. Before surgery, you'll have special imaging tests of your eye's drainage system. After surgery, you'll return for regular follow-up visits over 12 months, where doctors will take additional imaging scans to track how your eye is healing and how the drainage angle has changed.
