Anterior chamber depth in open angle glaucoma.
Anterior chamber depth was measured in patients with primary open angle glaucoma, low tension glaucoma, pigmentary dispersion syndrome, and glaucoma suspects. Multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that anterior chamber depth is a function of sex, age, and refractive error. Values for anterior chamber depth corrected for age and refractive error were greater in patients with pigmentar...
متن کاملAnterior chamber paracentesis combined with laser peripheral iridotomy in treatment of medically uncontrollable acute primary angle-closure glaucoma
Background: To evaluate the efficacy of combined therapy of anterior chamber paracentesis (ACP) and laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) in the treatment of medically uncontrollable acute primary angleclosure glaucoma (PACG). Methods: It was performed by retrospectively analyzing 42 eyes of 42 patients with acute PACG. The patients were divided into two groups by the time length from symptom onset ...
متن کاملOxidative Stress in Anterior Segment of Primary Open Angle Glaucoma
The glaucomas is a group of complex and heterogeneous ocular diseases representing the second leading cause of blindness, and almost 75 million people are affected worldwide (Quigley 1999) being a major issue for public health. The prevalence of glaucoma increases with age (Friedman et al. 2006). The reported prevalence among whites in their 80s varies widely across these studies, with estimate...
متن کاملChanges in Peripheral Anterior Chamber Depth of a Case of Relapsing Polychondritis with Recurrent Secondary Angle Closure Glaucoma§
A case of relapsing polychondritis showed IOP elevations three times during the follow-up due to the angle-closure mechanism. The peripheral anterior chamber depth (ACD) showed a good correlation with IOP elevation, but central ACD did not. The peripheral ACD could be more related to IOP elevation than central ACD.
متن کاملAnterior Chamber Angle Assessment Techniques
The anterior chamber angle is the actual anatomical angle created by the root of the iris and the peripheral corneal vault. Within it lie the structures involved in the outflow passage of the aqueous, namely the trabecular meshwork and the Schlemm’s canal (figure 1). The depth of the angle in a healthy eye is approximately 30°, with the superior part usually less deep than the inferior half. Ho...
