Gonioscopic changes after glaucoma surgery.

Gonioscopic changes after glaucoma surgery.

Trantas (I 907) made the first recorded observations on the angle of the anterior chamber, which he viewed through an ophthalmoscope while indenting the sclera at the limbus on the opposite side. He introduced the term gonioscopy, and found that a view could be obtained using either direct or indirect ophthalmoscopy. A few years later the first attempt to view the angle through a contact lens w...

Gonioscopic studies in congestive glaucoma.

SINCE narrow-angle glaucoma was described by Barkan (1938), conflicting opinions have been expressed as to the correctness of his views. Barkan postulated, and many authors have since agreed with him, that the rise in intra-ocular pressure in the condition usually known as congestive glaucoma, is due to mechanical obstruction to the outflow of aqueous at the filtration angle of the anterior cha...

Ptosis after glaucoma surgery

PURPOSE Evaluate factors contributing to ptosis after glaucoma surgery. METHODS Three-year retrospective chart review from January 1, 2012, to January 1, 2015, 157 eyes, 3 surgeons, at Boston Medical Center, to determine the incidence of ptosis and the effects of each variable contributing to ptosis at 3 months after surgery. Each variable was analyzed using the chi-square or independent samp...
