⁴Prof. Dr., Sağlık Bilimleri Üniversitesi, Ulucanlar Göz Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi, Göz Hastalıkları, Ankara, Türkiye Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is hereditary and progressive retinal dystrophy. RP associated with glaucoma is uncommon but prevalence of primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) is suggested to be more common than normal population. This case report presents a 41-year-old patient who applied to hospital and diagnosed with PACG. First, medical antiglaucoma therapy was administered and laser iridotomy was performed to the patient but later he was referred to our clinic due to inadequate intraocular pressure control. Intraocular pressure was decreased after lens extraction. RP may be associated with PACG which should be treated carefully and rapidly.
