m In addition to gonioscopy ultmsound biomicmscopy and Scheimpflug photography can be used to measure the imterior chamber angle width. The same subjects were measured with all three diagnostic tools and then the values were compared. v The anterior chamber angle width was measured in eight meridians in bath eyes of 20 volunteers without any history of ophthalmological problems. Gonioswpy was p...

PURPOSE Studying the role of ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) in detection of anterior segment changes in infants with primary congenital glaucoma (PCG). METHODS Cross-sectional study that included 25 eyes of 15 patients suffering from PCG and a control group of 15 eyes of ten age- and sex-matched participants. Diagnosis of PCG was based on clinical data (intraocular pressure, corneal diameter,...

AIM To establish normative values for the anterior segment in premature infants in relation to postconceptional age and birth weight. METHODS Anterior segments were measured in 39 premature infants, 25 to 39 weeks' gestational age by use of ultrasound biomicroscopy and a muscle hook with topical anaesthesia. RESULTS Anterior chamber depth, trabecular-iris angle, angle opening (trabecular-ir...

The Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) is a treatment method for primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). It applies laser beams directly to anterior chamber angle (ACA) and leads some degree of alteration in the trabecular meshwork. This study was conducted to evaluate ACA alterations after the SLT treatment. A prospective crosssectional study performed on 53 eyes of 27 POAG patients. A single s...

We investigated the relationship between the circumferential extent of peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS) and the severity of visual field defects in primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG). Correlations between visual field defects and the extent of PAS were analyzed in 73 eyes; 28 with and 45 without acute attacks. Spearman's correlation coefficient between the severity of visual field defects...

day completed synaptic organs were abundant in the outer plexiform layer. Development of the inner synapses was found to be considerably slower than that of the outer ones. The loose cell processes in the inner plexiform layer began to form certain cellular junctions around the fifth day. However, the synaptic bars and vesicles were first seen on the eighth day. On the tenth day, the inner plex...

PURPOSE Due to the increasing importance of mouse models and mouse genetics in ophthalmic research, we have developed a goniolens for mice. METHODS The size and basic design parameters of a human goniolens were adapted to the mouse eye. RESULTS The goniolens is straightforward to use and allows non-invasive visualization of the structures of the anterior chamber angle, including Schlemm's c...

PURPOSE To present the case of an 18 month old boy with Coats' disease who was found to have anterior chamber cholesterolosis. METHODS Case presentation and review of reported cases. RESULTS An 18 month old boy presented with unilateral stage 3B Coats' disease without other clinical findings. Two weeks after presentation he returned with xanthocoria due to anterior chamber cholesterolosis. ...
