Viscogonioplasty in narrow angle glaucoma: a randomized controlled trial
PURPOSE To determine the effect of viscogonioplasty and cataract extraction on intraocular pressure in patients with narrow angle glaucoma. METHODS This was a double-masked randomized controlled trial involving 50 eyes (25 cases and 25 controls) from 38 consecutive patients. All patients underwent phacoemulsification with or without viscogonioplasty. The main outcome measures were intraocular...
متن کاملGonioscopic Features in Patients with Acute and Chronic Angle-Closure Glaucoma
Background: A number of ocular biometric parameters, iris hiotologic and anatomic characters have been suggested as inciting factors for converting patients with narrow angle to angle-closure glaucoma. This study was conducted to determine if there was any goniscopic difference between patients with acute angle-closure glaucoma (AACG) and chronic angle-closure glaucoma (CACG). Methods: ...
متن کاملIridocyclo-retraction in narrow-angle glaucoma.
No specific way has so far been found to treat the organic (synechial) closure of the anterior chamber angle. Iridectomy relieves the pupillary block but the iris root remains fixed to the filtering zone. Cyclodyalisis is as a rule useless, being followed by immediate re-adherence. A new surgical procedure which has been developed is described in this paper as "iridocyclo-retraction". The iris ...
متن کاملCompliance with treatment of patients with chronic open-angle glaucoma.
The compliance with treatment of 168 patients with chronic open-angle glaucoma was studied. 42% of the patients missed at least some of their medication. Patients were more likely to miss doses in the middle of the day than in the morning or evening. Two factors found to improve compliance were the knowledge of the name of their eye disease and the possible ill effects of having no treatment. P...
متن کاملPhacoemulsification Versus Combined Phacoemulsification and Viscogonioplasty in Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
PURPOSE To compare the effect of phacoemulsification (Phaco) versus combined phacoemulsification and viscogonioplasty (Phaco-VGP) on long-term intraocular pressure (IOP) in primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG). METHODS In this prospective randomized clinical trial, 92 eyes of 82 patients with PACG and coexisting cataract were randomized to undergo Phaco alone (46 eyes) or Phaco-VGP (45 eyes)...
