Authors' response

We would like to thank the authors for bringing this technique to the attention of readers. Corneal indentation can break attacks of acute angle closure glaucoma and is a readily available option for a patient in pain. We also thank the authors for their review of some of corneal indentation's history with which we were unfamiliar. The concerns about the possible corneal epithelial defect and retinal vascular events with corneal indentation have been discussed and seem to be a noninvasive intervention.
