The Biometric Values of Affected and Fellow Eyes in Patients with Acute Attack of Primary Angle Closure
Background: It has been estimated that 67 million people worldwide are affected with a primary glaucoma and that one-third have primary angle closure glaucoma. We aimed to determine the biometric differences between the eyes of patients with acute attack of primary angle closure and their non-involved fellow eyes. Methods: Twenty eight patients with acute attack of primary angle closure were re...

PURPOSE To compare anterior segment and ocular biometric parameters in unaffectedfellow eyes of patients with a previous attack of acute angle closure (AAC), primary angle closure suspect (PACS) eyes, and normal eyes; and to identify eyes at high risk of AAC among primary angle closure suspects. METHODS In this case-control study, 16 unaffected fellow eyes of patients with aprevious attack of...
متن کاملPredicting the Risk of Acute Primary Angle Closure
Primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) is being studied more intensively as the significance of the disease is better being recognized worldwide. Based on Quigley and Broman's estimation, 60.5 million people were expected to have glaucoma in 2010, increasing to 79.6 million by 2020, three-fourths of whom will have primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). 1 However, the rate of blindness due to PACG i...
