PURPOSE To quantitatively assess and compare the anterior chamber volume (ACV) by different anterior segment imaging techniques. METHODS Forty healthy eyes of 40 patients were recruited and three consecutive measurements of ACV were determined prospectively utilizing SL-OCT and Pentacam. Statistical significance of interdevice differences between measurements was evaluated by unpaired t test ...

Purpose. To evaluate the anterior chamber volume in cataract patients with Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography (SS-OCT) and its influencing factors. Methods. Anterior chamber volume of 92 cataract patients was evaluated with SS-OCT in this cross-sectional study. Univariate analyses and multiple linear regression were used to investigate gender, age, operated eye, posterior vitreous detach...

Background: Chronic angle-closure glaucoma (CACG) is a visually destructive disease. Effective management of CACG requires identifying eyes with narrow angle.
 Objective: To compare pentacam gonioscopy in detecting angles CACG.
 Method: We enrolled 101 glaucoma. Gonioscopy was performed on all eyes. Using Shaffer’s grading, subjects were classified into angle closure and open angle. A...

PURPOSE To assess the reproducibility and agreement of anterior chamber measurements between the Pentacam (PTC) and the Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AOCT) in normal healthy eyes with open angle. METHODS Prospective cross-sectional comparative case series. A total of 162 eyes of 81 healthy volunteers with normal open angle were included in this study. Anterior chamber angle (...

cussed, and, as far as possible, traced to their ultimate causes. They will include such con ditions as glaucoma, sympathetic ophthalmia, congenital malformations, &c. The first volume recentty issued deals with the pathological histology of the lids, conjunctiva, cornea, sclerotic, iris, anterior-chamber, and ciliary body, together with the bacteriology of the conjunctiva. The illustrations, w...

The occurrence of haemolytic glaucoma in phakic eyes due to ghost cells has not previously been reported. Three cases of haemolytic glaucoma occurring over two years after massive vitreous haemorrhage in patients with an intact lens iris diaphragm are described. In one case there was histological confirmation of the presence of ghost cells in the anterior chamber. The mechanism proposed for the...

INTRODUCTION The causes leading to dislocation of the natural lenses are different involving injuries, hereditary diseases and spontaneous dislocation. Spontaneous dislocation of a transparent natural lens is extremely rare, especially dislocation of the anterior eye chamber. We report a case of spontaneous dislocation of the transparent natural lens to the anterior eye chamber in a patient who...

As expected, skin implants placed in the anterior chamber of the eye of rats systemically sensitized with alloantigen from the antigen specific (second party) donor implants are rapidly rejected, indicating that the anterior chamber offers no barrier to the efferent immune response. However, during our studies it was noted that antigen nonspecific (third party) skin implants placed in the anter...

Composite data describing ocular pharmacokinetics are unreliable because of intersubject variation. To address this problem, an animal model was developed in which multiple aqueous samples from single subjects were obtained. Following direct anterior chamber or intravenous administration of amikacin or chloramphenicol, pharmacokinetic analysis of drug concentrations in the serum and anterior ch...

PURPOSE To report a case of caterpillar setae embedded in the deep cornea and anterior chamber. METHODS A 26-year-old man was struck in his right eye by a caterpillar (Dendrolimus punctatus walker). Severe conjunctival injection, chemosis, and erosion of the cornea developed immediately. Numerous setae fragments were found to be embedded into the palpebral conjunctiva and deep cornea, extendi...
