Pseudophakic angle-closure from a Soemmering ring

Pseudophakic angle-closure from a Soemmering ring

BACKGROUND Report of three patients with pseudophakic angle-closure from a Soemmering ring. Three mechanisms of the Soemmering ring induced pseudophakic angle-closure in three patients were demonstrated by meticulous anterior segment examination and ultrasound biomicroscopic (UBM) analysis. CASE PRESENTATION In the first case, the Soemmering-capsule-IOL complex caused relative pupillary block...

Automated analysis of angle closure from anterior chamber angle images.

PURPOSE To evaluate a novel software capable of automatically grading angle closure on EyeCam angle images in comparison with manual grading of images, with gonioscopy as the reference standard. METHODS In this hospital-based, prospective study, subjects underwent gonioscopy by a single observer, and EyeCam imaging by a different operator. The anterior chamber angle in a quadrant was classifi...

Acute angle closure glaucoma resulting from myelodysplasia.

Patients with bleeding diatheses can present in a variety of clinical situations. When these patients manifest with ocular complications, their management can be challenging. We describe a case of acute angle closure glaucoma secondary to subretinal haemorrhage, with myelodysplasia as a predisposing factor.

Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma

Partial angle closure.

During the course of negative provocative test for closed-angle glaucoma using pilocarpine and phenylephrine 60% of eyes develop significant reductions in outflow facility at some stage during the test. It is shown that these reductions can be explained by postulating the presence of partial-angle closure since: (1) A random sample (6) of 53 eyes showing an abnormal response subsequently had a ...
