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 imaging in angle-closure disease

Introduction Angle-closure disease (both primary and secondary) is a spectrum of disorders characterized by iridotrabecular contact obstructing aqueous outflow. Anterior segment imaging plays an important role in understanding the pathophysiology of angle closure, diagnosis, and monitoring the treatment, especially in challenging cases. Indirect gonioscopy, the gold standard for visualizing the...

anterior segment eye deposits following long-term chlorpromazine therapy

purpose: to report a case of anterior segment eye deposits in a patient on long-term chlorpromazine therapy. case report: a 34 years old man had been on chlorpromazine therapy for 5 years with a total dose of 1,100 gram. since one year ago, he presented with gradual onset of decreased visual acuity in both eyes. slit-lamp examination revealed multiple fine yellow-brown deposits on the corneal e...

Anterior Segment Intraocular Lens

Yellow filters for the eye have been of interest to ophthalmologists and optometrists for the last 30 years. Certain fish species can change the colour of the cornea in response to the level of illumination and regulate the amount of short-wavelength light reaching the retina. A positive influence of yellow eye filters on reduction of chromatic aberration has been found in a fish eye model. Blu...
