Anterior Segment Morphology in Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma using Ultrasound Biomicroscopy
Aim To evaluate the configuration of the anterior chamber angle quantitatively and study the morphological changes in the eye with ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) in primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) patients after laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI). Materials and methods A total of 185 eyes of 185 PACG patients post-LPI and 126 eyes of 126 normal subjects were included in this prospective s...
متن کاملUltrasound Biomicroscopy in Glaucoma
The advent of the ultrasound biomicroscope (UBM) has made high resolution imaging of the anterior segment possible, permitting reproducible imaging of the cross-sectional anterior chamber angle anatomy. This article gives an outline of normal angle anatomy, technique of UBM and reviews the various applications of the UBM for glaucoma and illustrates how it can be a useful tool in the management...
متن کاملConfirmation of the presence of uveal effusion in Asian eyes with primary angle closure glaucoma: an ultrasound biomicroscopy study.
OBJECTIVE To confirm the presence of uveal effusion in the eyes of Asian patients with primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) using ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM). METHODS In this observational case series, 70 patients with PACG (28 untreated patients with newly diagnosed PACG and 42 patients who had undergone previous laser iridotomy and were being monitored) and 12 patients with acute primar...
متن کاملUltrasound biomicroscopy in asymmetric pigment dispersion syndrome and pigmentary glaucoma.
OBJECTIVE To identify differences in anterior chamber anatomy among patients with asymmetric pigment dispersion syndrome and no other discernible cause for the asymmetry. METHODS Ultrasound biomicroscopy and A-scan biometry were performed on both eyes of 13 patients with asymmetric pigment dispersion syndrome without a known cause for asymmetric involvement. A radial perpendicular image in th...
متن کاملDifferences between fellow eyes of acute and chronic primary angle closure (glaucoma): An ultrasound biomicroscopy quantitative study
PURPOSE To compare various biometric parameters between fellow eyes of acute primary angle closure (glaucoma) [APAC(G)] and fellow eyes of chronic primary angle closure (glaucoma) [CPAC(G)]. METHODS Ultrasound biomicroscopy examinations were performed on 47 patients with unilateral APAC(G) and 41 patients with asymmetric CPAC(G) before laser peripheral iridotomy and pilocarpine treatment. Ant...
