The article reviews literature data on the search for predictors of the success of laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) and lensectomy in the early stages of primary angle closure disease (PACD) and presents a trend analysis of the studies conducted on individuals identified as primary angle closure suspects (PACs) and those with primary angle closure (PAC). The concept of the review was determined by the ambiguous choice of treatment for patients at the stage of PAC onset. Determining the success predictors of LPI or lensectomy plays a key role in optimizing the treatment of PACD. The results of literature analysis are contradictory, which indicates the need for further research taking into account modern methods of visualization of the eye structures such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), Swept Source OCT (SS-OCT), and the use of uniform criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of treatment.
