Anterior chamber paracentesis combined with laser peripheral iridotomy in treatment of medically uncontrollable acute primary angle-closure glaucoma
Background: To evaluate the efficacy of combined therapy of anterior chamber paracentesis (ACP) and laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) in the treatment of medically uncontrollable acute primary angleclosure glaucoma (PACG). Methods: It was performed by retrospectively analyzing 42 eyes of 42 patients with acute PACG. The patients were divided into two groups by the time length from symptom onset ...
متن کاملAutomated analysis of angle closure from anterior chamber angle images.
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...
متن کاملParacentesis as an initial intervention in Malay Indonesian eyes with acute primary angle closure
Background: Acute primary angle closure (APAC) is one of the causes of blindness in Department of Ophthalmology Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital. Management of APAC is still controversial. Laser peripheral iridotomy is difficult to be done due to corneal edema as a result of persistent high intraocular pressure (IOP). It is believe that paracentesis will lower IOP immediately. The objective ...
متن کاملLaser Peripheral Iridotomy with Iridoplasty in Primary Angle Closure Suspect: Anterior Chamber Analysis by Pentacam
PURPOSE To compare conventional laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) and LPI combined with laser peripheral iridoplasty in eyes with primary angle closure suspect (PACS) by assessment of anterior chamber dimensional changes using a Pentacam. METHODS Forty-eight eyes of 24 subjects with bilateral PACS were recruited consecutively. Each eye was randomly allocated to treatment with conventional LPI,...
متن کاملNarrowing of the anterior chamber angle during Valsalva maneuver: a possible mechanism for angle closure.
PURPOSE To evaluate changes at the anterior chamber angle during Valsalva maneuver in eyes suspected to have a primary adult glaucoma. METHODS Seventy-six consecutive patients underwent recording of applanation tonometry, measurement of the anterior chamber angle recess, angle opening distance, angle recess area, scleral spur-iris root distance, iris thickness, iridociliary angle, ciliary bod...
