Pseudophakic anterior chamber depth measurement

Slit-lamp measurement of the anterior chamber depth.

A technique is proposed which allows assessment of the anterior chamber depth with a standard table slit-lamp without any extra attachments. A final approximation is made which suggests that a 1 degree change in the angle between the observation and illumination systems of the slit lamp when the end point is reached indicates a change in anterior chamber depth of 0.1 mm.

Anterior chamber depth measurement: interchangeability between Pentacam and other devices

We reviewed a series of recently published studies in which the anterior chamber depth (ACD) distance was measured by Pentacam or Pentacam HR and compared with other measuring devices. Since some published studies reach contradictory conclusions regarding device interchangeability and include di erent ocular conditions, for instance, phakic eyes, pseudophakic eyes, cataractous eye, and so on, t...

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...

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...
