Comparison of angle-to-angle distance using three devices in normal eyes

THE NORMAL CARRYING ANGLE OF THE ELBOW IN SHIRAZ

The normal carrying angle in Shiraz population was measured on the basis of sex and age. The right elbow angle of 4266 cases was examined from birth to 30 years old. This study found the carrying angle in 2540 females to be 7.20 (range 2-19) and in 1726 males to be 6.40 (range 2-11), a 0.80 difference. A significant difference (p= 0.05) was found in relation to age. There is a gradual incr...

Posterior corneal curvature. Correlations in normal eyes and in eyes involved with primary angle-closure glaucoma.

Assessment of corneal biomechanical properties in normal tension glaucoma and comparison with open-angle glaucoma, ocular hypertension, and normal eyes.

PURPOSE To assess the biomechanical properties of corneas in patients with normal tension glaucoma (NTG) and to compare them with those of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), ocular hypertension (OHT), and normal controls (N). METHODS Corneal hysteresis (CH), corneal resistance factor (CRF), Goldmann intraocular pressure (IOPg), and corneal compensated IOP (IOPcc) were obtained ...

Phospholipase A2 in chamber angle of normal eyes and patients with primary open angle glaucoma and exfoliation glaucoma

PURPOSE Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) is a growing family of lipolytic enzymes that play a key role in various biological processes including general lipid metabolism, membrane homeostasis, and in diseases such as atherosclerosis, arthritis, and acute pancreatitis. Oxidative stress as well as inflammation may be associated with glaucoma pathogenesis. Therefore, our aim was to examine the expression o...

A comparison of two approaches to managing acute primary angle closure in Asian eyes

PURPOSE To review the management regimes of acute primary angle closure (APAC) in two hospitals in Singapore, and to identify the incidence of and risk factors for progression to glaucomatous optic neuropathy. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of 40 patients from National University Hospital (NUH) and 52 patients from Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC) who were diagnosed with APAC...
