Refractive error, axial dimensions, and primary open-angle glaucoma: the Singapore Malay Eye Study.
OBJECTIVE To explore the relationship of refractive error and ocular biometry with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) in the Malay population. METHODS The Singapore Malay Eye Study is a population-based cross-sectional survey that examined 3280 persons (78.7% response) aged 40 to 80 years. Participants underwent a standardized clinical examination including slitlamp biomicroscopy, Goldmann ap...
متن کاملPrimary open-angle glaucoma
Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is an idiopathic disorder in which the resistance to outflow through the trabecular meshwork gradually increases and the intraocular pressure (IOP) rises, causing irreversible damage to the optic nerve POAG is the second most common cause of vision loss in the U.S. Usually asymptomatic until advanced visual field loss has occurred; less than 50% of those...
متن کاملIntraocular Pressure, Axial Length, and Refractive Changes after Phacoemulsification and Trabeculectomy for Open-Angle Glaucoma
PURPOSE To compare changes in intraocular pressure (IOP), axial eye length (AEL), and refractive outcome in primary open-angle glaucoma patients undergoing cataract surgery and trabeculectomy in dependence of the sequence of surgeries. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively analysed 48 eyes. The changes in refraction, intraocular pressure, and axial eye length were analysed after surgery. I...

purpose: the objective of this study was to identify possible risk factors associated with primary open-angle glaucoma (poag). methods: a case-control study included patients seen at rasoul-akram hospital ophthalmology clinic. cases were consecutive patients with confirmed unilateral or bilateral poag presented during the study period. controls were a random sample of all other patients aged 30...
متن کاملAssociation between p53 Codon 72 (Arg72Pro) Polymorphism and Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma in Iranian Patients
Background: Glaucomatous neuropathy is a type of cell death due to apoptosis. The p53 gene is one of the regulatory genes of apoptosis. Recently, the association between the p53 gene encoding for proline at codon 72 and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) has been studied in some ethnic groups. This study is the first association analysis of POAG and p53 codon 72 polymorphism in Iranian patients...
