Evaluation of Choroidal Thickness in Patients with Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome and Pseudoexfoliation Glaucoma
Purpose. To compare the macular and peripapillary choroidal thickness in eyes with pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome and PEX glaucoma with the normal eyes of healthy controls. Materials and Methods. In this prospective study, 30 eyes of 30 patients with PEX syndrome, 28 eyes of 28 patients with PEX glaucoma, and 30 eyes of 30 age-matched healthy subjects were enrolled. Choroidal thicknesses in t...
متن کاملPeripapillary Choroidal Thickness and Open-Angle Glaucoma: A Meta-Analysis
Purpose. To investigate the potential relationship between open-angle glaucoma (OAG) and peripapillary choroidal thickness (PPCT). Materials and Methods. Relevant publications were searched systematically through various databases from inception to January 2016. Studies comparing PPCT in OAG patients and healthy controls were retrieved. All qualified articles were analyzed using Stata 14.0 and ...
متن کاملPhacoviscocanalostomy in pseudoexfoliation glaucoma versus primary open-angle glaucoma.
OBJECTIVE To compare the outcome of phacoviscocanalostomy in pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PEXG) versus that in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). DESIGN Prospective comparative study. PARTICIPANTS Sixty eyes of 60 patients who underwent phacoviscocanalostomy for cataract and medically uncontrolled PEXG (30 eyes) or POAG (30 eyes). METHODS Success rate was based on intraocular pressure (IO...
متن کاملCentral corneal thickness measurements in patients with normal tension glaucoma, primary open angle glaucoma, pseudoexfoliation glaucoma, or ocular hypertension.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Recent studies have revealed patients with ocular hypertension to have thicker than normal central corneas and those with normal tension glaucoma to have thinner than normal ones, as determined by ultrasonic pachymetry. Since corneal thickness measurements and applanation tonometric estimates of intraocular pressure (IOP) correlate positively, monitoring of the former parameter ...
متن کاملNo differences in central corneal thickness between open-angle and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma patients
INTRODUCTION Measurements of intraocular pressure (IOP) with Goldmann applanation tonometry are affected by central corneal thickness (CCT), as thinner corneas underestimate and thicker corneas overestimate the true IOP value. The literature is controversial regarding CCT values in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and exfoliation glaucoma (XFG). The aim of this study was to eval...
