Two cases of association between the Morquio Syndrome and glaucoma in one family are described. Possible role of Mucopolysaccharides acting in the anterior chamber angle is discussed.

IT is well known that there is a connexion between a narrow angle of the anterior chamber and primary acute glaucoma. As the chamber angle differs in each individual, it may often be difficult to decide how it should be classified; there is no method of measuring the angle, and it is therefore justifiable to determine a measurement which gives an indirect indication of its size. The axial chamb...

Introduction: The present study aimed to present a numerical analysis of the penetration depth,  specific absorption rate (SAR), and temperature rise in various eye tissues with varying distance between radiation source and exposed human eye tissues (i.e., cornea, posterior chamber, anterior chamber, lens, sclera, vitreous humor, and iris) at frequencies of 900 and1800 MHz. Materials and Method...

CASE REPORT Myopic magna with narrow anterior chamber that presented with a secondary angle closure due to lorazepam. DISCUSSION Angle closure usually occurs in predisposed patients and is triggered by precipitating factors. Many drugs routinely used in clinical practice could act as a factor responsible for the secondary angle closure.

The advent of the ultrasound biomicroscope (UBM) has made high resolution imaging of the anterior segment possible, permitting reproducible imaging of the cross-sectional anterior chamber angle anatomy. This article gives an outline of normal angle anatomy, technique of UBM and reviews the various applications of the UBM for glaucoma and illustrates how it can be a useful tool in the management...
