Examination
On arrival, her visual acuity was counting fingers in both eyes. Intraocular pressure (IOP) measured 45 mm Hg in the right eye and 49 mm Hg in the left eye by applanation tonometry. She had fixed pupils, conjunctival chemosis and injection, moderate corneal edema, markedly shallow anterior chambers with 360° iridocorneal touch peripherally and a 4.00 D myopic shift in both eyes. Gonioscopy revealed closed angles bilaterally with a flat iris configuration. The cup/disc ratio was 0.2 in both eyes.
