Usefulness of peripheral anterior chamber depth assessment in glaucoma screening

Anterior chamber depth in open angle glaucoma.

Anterior chamber depth was measured in patients with primary open angle glaucoma, low tension glaucoma, pigmentary dispersion syndrome, and glaucoma suspects. Multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that anterior chamber depth is a function of sex, age, and refractive error. Values for anterior chamber depth corrected for age and refractive error were greater in patients with pigmentar...

Changes in Peripheral Anterior Chamber Depth of a Case of Relapsing Polychondritis with Recurrent Secondary Angle Closure Glaucoma§

A case of relapsing polychondritis showed IOP elevations three times during the follow-up due to the angle-closure mechanism. The peripheral anterior chamber depth (ACD) showed a good correlation with IOP elevation, but central ACD did not. The peripheral ACD could be more related to IOP elevation than central ACD.

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...

Chamber depth in primary acute glaucoma.

IT is well known that there is a connexion between a narrow angle of the anterior chamber and primary acute glaucoma. As the chamber angle differs in each individual, it may often be difficult to decide how it should be classified; there is no method of measuring the angle, and it is therefore justifiable to determine a measurement which gives an indirect indication of its size. The axial chamb...
