PERIPHERAL CHAMBER DEPTH IN SHALLOW ANTERIOR CHAMBER

Anterior chamber depth during hemodialysis

BACKGROUND Exacerbation of chronic glaucoma or acute glaucoma is occasionally observed in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) because of anterior chamber depth changes during this therapy. PURPOSE To evaluate anterior chamber depth and axial length in patients during HD sessions. METHODS A total of 67 eyes of 35 patients were prospectively enrolled. Axial length and anterior chamber depth...

Anterior chamber depth in eyes with pseudoexfoliation.

The depth of the anterior chamber was measured in 34 eyes with pseudoexfoliation but without glaucoma and in 334 normal controls. No significant difference was found.

Anterior chamber depth in open angle glaucoma.

Anterior chamber depth was measured in patients with primary open angle glaucoma, low tension glaucoma, pigmentary dispersion syndrome, and glaucoma suspects. Multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that anterior chamber depth is a function of sex, age, and refractive error. Values for anterior chamber depth corrected for age and refractive error were greater in patients with pigmentar...

Depth of anterior chamber after cataract extraction.

A total of 80 patients with senile cataract had the anterior eye chamber depth measured optically by means of Haag-Streit's attachment II. The distance to the pupillary border was 2.59 +/- 0.05 mm (mean +/- SEM) preoperatively. It increased gradually after cataract extraction to 3.33 +/- 0.04 mm, measured 4 months after the operation. The increase of depth was the greatest in patients with a fl...
