Increased iris thickness and association with primary angle closure glaucoma.
AIMS To investigate the relationship between quantitative iris parameters and angle closure disease. methods: Participants with angle closure were recruited prospectively from glaucoma clinics. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) was performed under standardised dark conditions. Customised software was used on horizontal AS-OCT scans to measure iris thickness at 750 um...
متن کاملChanges in choroidal thickness after trabeculectomy in primary angle closure glaucoma.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in choroidal thickness (CT) in advanced or late-stage primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) patients who had undergone trabeculectomy. METHODS This study included 23 eyes with PACG that required trabeculectomy. Enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography was used to measure CT before and 7 days after trabeculectomy. The relatio...
متن کاملAnterior Choroidal Thickness Increased in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma and Primary Angle-Closure Disease Eyes Evidenced by Ultrasound Biomicroscopy and SS-OCT.
Purpose To compare the anterior and posterior choroid thickness (ACT and PCT, respectively) in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), primary angle-closure disease (PACD), and healthy control subjects. Methods A total of 29 POAG patients (56 eyes), 37 PACD patients (64 eyes), and 34 healthy volunteers (68 eyes) were enrolled in this study; 50 POAG eyes were divided into 25 early/moderate-stage a...
متن کاملAuthor response: Choroidal thickness change after water drinking is greater in angle closure than in open angle eyes.
PURPOSE To study change in choroidal thickness (CT) after water drinking test (WDT), comparing angle closure (AC) to open angle (OA) eyes. METHODS Before and 30 minutes after drinking 1 L of water, 88 glaucoma subjects underwent measurements of CT by spectral domain-optical coherence tomography, IOP, blood pressure (BP), axial length (AL), and anterior chamber depth (ACD). RESULTS Baseline ...
متن کاملThe LOXL1 gene variations are not associated with primary open-angle and primary angle-closure glaucomas.
PURPOSE Glaucoma is a complex disease involving multiple genetic factors. Recently, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the LOXL1 gene have been implicated in exfoliation syndrome (XFS) and exfoliation glaucoma (XFG) but not in the primary glaucomas. This study was conducted to determine the possible involvement of these SNPs in cases of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and primary angl...
