چکیده
PURPOSE . To assess the prognostic significance of LAF coefficient (Lens thickness/Axial length factor) as a risk factor for acute glaucoma attack in anatomically short eyes Europeans. METHODS. Group 1 consisted 24 patients (48 eyes) with axial hyperopia. 2 included primary closure anterior chamber angle. 3 — 17 (34 initial stage angleclosure glaucoma. 4 35 (35 an The studied groups did not differ age (p=0.97) and gender (p=0.28). Lens thickness (AL) were measured by A-scan calculation coefficient. RESULTS. group (acute attack) was statistically significantly higher than other three groups. best separation seen compared to lens AL sensitivity, specificity area under curve (AUC) 89%, 83% 0.9, respectively. values greater 2.332 are objectively associated high average value (2.528) observed glaucoma) exceeds these parameters works authors, which may be morphometric structural features Europeans Asians. CONCLUSION. provides better comparison and, especially, length. indicate glaucoma, evidenced specificity, AUC.

Novel Risk Factors for Glaucoma
CEREBROSPINAL FLUID PRESSURE Evidence supports the association of low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure with the prevalence of glaucoma, particularly with respect to normal-tension glaucoma (NTG). The most robust study comes from Tongren Hospital in Beijing, China, in which patients with both high-tension and normal-tension open-angle glaucoma as well as healthy controls underwent lumbar punct...

متن کاملRisk Factors for Glaucoma Needing More Attention
Glaucoma is defined as a chronic progressive optic neuropathy, for which elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is the only modifiable risk factor. Emerging research indicates that modifiable factors besides IOP may be associated with the presence of glaucoma. In this review, we discuss the role of modifiable determinants, specifically socioeconomic status, nutritional intake, body mass index and ...
