OCULAR BIOMETRY IN PRIMARY ANGLE CLOSURE GLAUCOMA

Ocular Biometry in Angle Closure

PURPOSE To compare ocular biometric parameters in primary angle closure suspects (PACS), primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) and acute primary angle closure (APAC). METHODS This cross-sectional study was performed on 113 patients including 33 cases of PACS, 45 patients with PACG and 35 subjects with APAC. Central corneal thickness (CCT), axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD) and l...

Ocular biometry in the subtypes of primary angle closure glaucoma in University Malaya Medical Centre.

Thirty-seven consecutive patients (41 eyes) diagnosed with primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) attending the Glaucoma Clinic in University Malaya Medical Centre, over a period of 6 months were categorized into acute, subacute and chronic PACG from their clinical presentation. Each case was subjected to automated refraction, A-scan biometry for anterior chamber depth, axial length and lens thi...

Ocular Biometry in Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma Associated with Retinitis Pigmentosa

Background Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) comprises a group of inherited disorders in which patients typically lose night vision in adolescence and then lose peripheral vision in young adulthood before eventually losing central vision later in life. A retrospective case-control study was performed to evaluate differences in ocular biometric parameters in primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) patient...

Correlations of Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma Susceptibility Gene and Ocular Biometry

Specific anatomic features are risk factors for primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG), a dominant type of glaucoma in Asia. Some tissue remodeling genes have been reported associated with PACG. A Genome-wide association study identified three new susceptibility loci for PACG. However, the exact mechanism of these genes in PACG pathogenesis is still unclear. This commentary summarized the correl...
