Anterior segment development relevant to glaucoma.
Development of the ocular anterior segment involves a series of inductive interactions between neural ectoderm, surface ectoderm and periocular mesenchyme. The timing of these events is well established but less is known about the molecular mechanisms involved. Various genes that participate in these processes have been identified. As the roles of more genes are determined, developmental pathwa...
متن کامل[Anterior segment optical coherence tomography in glaucoma].
In recent years, the rapid development of diagnostic optic devices has generated optical coherence tomography (OCT) as a new, non-invasive diagnostic method. With technical progress of the infrared spectrum at 1,310 nm, OCT of the anterior segment also became feasible. With anterior segment OCT different examinations which so far were ruled out by ultrasound in contact manner could be executed ...
متن کاملAnterior-segment imaging for assessment of glaucoma.
This article summarizes the physics, technology and clinical application of ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) for assessment of the anterior segment in glaucoma. UBM systems use frequencies ranging from approximately 35 to 80 MHz, as compared with typical 10-MHz systems used for general-purpose ophthalmic imaging. OCT systems use low-coherence, near-infrared ...
متن کاملThe Role of Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography in Glaucoma
The anterior segment optical coherence tomography provides an objective method to assess the anterior segment of the eye, including the anatomy of the anterior chamber angle. This technology allows both qualitative and quantitative analyses of the angle and has shown potential in detecting and managing angle-closure glaucoma. In addition, it has a role in identifying pathology in some forms of ...
متن کاملAnterior-segment morphology and corneal biomechanical characteristics in pigmentary glaucoma
PURPOSE The aim of the study reported here was to evaluate characteristics of the anterior-segment via anterior-segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) and corneal biomechanical properties using an ocular response analyzer and their changes by peripheral laser iridotomy (PI) in patients with pigmentary glaucoma (PG). MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventeen eyes with PG were included consecutive...
