Anterior chamber depth was measured in patients with primary open angle glaucoma, low tension glaucoma, pigmentary dispersion syndrome, and glaucoma suspects. Multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that anterior chamber depth is a function of sex, age, and refractive error. Values for anterior chamber depth corrected for age and refractive error were greater in patients with pigmentar...

Introduction. We present a case of a metallic foreign body embedded in the anterior chamber angle. After standing in close proximity to a construction worker breaking a tile, a 26-year-old woman using soft contact lens for the correction of mild myopia presented to emergency department for evaluation of a foreign body sensation of her right eye. Methods and Results. Diagnosis was confirmed by g...

PURPOSE To review the parameters for quantitative assessment of the anterior segment and iridocorneal angle and to develop a comprehensive schematic for the evaluation of angle anatomy and pathophysiology by high-resolution imaging. METHODS The published literature of the last 15 years was reviewed, analyzed, and organized into a construct for assessment of anterior segment processes. RESUL...

IT is the general opinion that, in eyes suffering from closed-angle glaucoma, goniosynechiae are not uncommon, especially if such eyes have had an acute or sub-acute attack of hypertension. The present investigation has been undertaken to ascertain whether these goniosynechiae are distributed at random round the angle or, as clinical impression suggests, tend to occur more in the upper than the...

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...

AIM To study the effects of gender, eye side and age on anterior chamber measurements; To compare the anterior chamber parameters between glaucoma and normal subjects. METHODS A total of 169 patients (299 eyes), of which 122 normal subjects (218 eyes), 24 cases (39 eyes) with primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) and 22 cases (42 eyes) with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) visiting our hosp...

PURPOSE To compare the ocular anterior chamber depth, white-to-white distance, anterior chamber angle, and pupil diameter, as measured with two different Scheimpflug imaging devices. METHODS This transversal study included 80 right eyes from 80 subjects aged from 20 to 40 years. Their spherical equivalents ranged from -4.25 to +1.00 diopters (D). Each eye's anterior chamber depth, white-to-wh...

PURPOSE To evaluate pigmentation on the anterior chamber angle in patients with atopic dermatitis. METHODS This study includes 61 patients suffering from atopic dermatitis who visited our hospital between 1991 and 1995. Gonioscopy, cycloscopy, and fundus examinations with a scleral depressor were performed on every patient during the initial visit, and were repeated every 6 months. Pigmentati...
