Role of anterior segment optical coherence tomography in angle-closure disease: a review

Qualitative evaluation of anterior segment in angle closure disease using anterior segment optical coherence tomography

PURPOSE To evaluate different mechanisms of primary angle closure (PAC) and to quantify anterior chamber (AC) parameters in different subtypes of angle closure disease using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). METHODS In this prospective study, 115 eyes of 115 patients with angle closure disease were included and categorized into three groups: 1) fellow eyes of acute angle...

Anterior segment optical coherence tomography in subtypes of angle closure glaucoma

Primary angle-closure glaucoma (ACG) is a serious ocular health care problem especially in Asia, increasing in prevalence as one moves towards the Eastern part of Asia. The disease causes a significant burden of blindness and visual disability in regions where it is most prevalent. With the advent of SDOCTs, anterior and posterior segment mechanisms of the disease have been better elucidated. H...

Comparison of Anterior Segment-Optical Coherence Tomography Parameters in Phacomorphic Angle Closure and Acute Angle Closure Eyes.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to compare anterior segment-optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) parameters in phacomorphic angle closure and acute primary angle closure (APAC) eyes. METHODS In this cross-sectional case series, a total of 134 patients with phacomorphic angle closure (28 eyes) or APAC (54 eyes), as well as normal control subjects (52 eyes), were enrolled. Patients underw...

Major determinants of acute primary angle closure demonstrated by anterior segment optical coherence tomography.

The 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 ...
