The best way to prevent an attack of acute angle closure glaucoma from having an effect on one's eye is through consistent eye checkups, especially if you are at risk of being affected.

That's great advice, regular eye checkups are recommended not just because of the risk of glaucoma, however, I would like to point out that acute close angle glaucoma is considered an ocular emergency as one could lose vision within a short period so it's not something likely to just be diagnosed from routine examination however your doctor could let you know you have a higher risk for it if you get your eyes checked and your anterior chamber angle is quite small.

Great writeup, cheers!
