Peripheral Anterior Synechiae and Ultrasound Biomicroscopic Parameters in Angle-Closure Glaucoma Suspects
PURPOSE To investigate the correlation between peripheral anterior synechia (PAS) and the quantitative anterior chamber angle parameters measured by ultrasound microscopy (UBM) in angle-closure glaucoma suspect (ACGS) eyes. METHODS Eyes were defined ACGS as having occludable angles and intraocular pressure less than 21 mm Hg without glaucomatous optic nerve head. The gonioscopic criteria for ...
متن کاملDistribution and Characteristics of Peripheral Anterior Synechiae in Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma
PURPOSE To evaluate the characteristics of peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS) in primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG). METHODS We reviewed the charts of 155 patients (244 eyes) with PACG. We divided these patients into one of four clinical subtypes: acute angle-closure glaucoma (ACG), chronic ACG, angle-closure hypertension, and ACG suspect. The prevalence, extent, and location of PAS were ...
متن کاملResident-performed laser peripheral iridotomy in primary angle closure, primary angle closure suspects, and primary angle closure glaucoma
PURPOSE To investigate the power use and complication frequency of resident-performed laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI). METHODS A retrospective analysis of 196 eyes from 103 patients who underwent neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser iridotomy performed by resident physicians from January 1, 2010 through April 30, 2015 at a university-based county hospital was done. All patients were trea...
متن کاملRelationship between the extent of peripheral anterior synechiae and the severity of visual field defects in primary angle-closure glaucoma.
We investigated the relationship between the circumferential extent of peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS) and the severity of visual field defects in primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG). Correlations between visual field defects and the extent of PAS were analyzed in 73 eyes; 28 with and 45 without acute attacks. Spearman's correlation coefficient between the severity of visual field defects...
متن کاملIntraocular pressure outcome after phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation in chronic angle closure glaucoma patients without extensive peripheral anterior synechiae
Background:Cataract extraction surgery significantly decreases intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with various forms of angle closure glaucoma (ACG). However, most reports did not specify the circumferential extent of peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS). Objective: Evaluate IOP after phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in chronic ACG patients without extensive PAS. ...
