Early Detection of Primary Open Angle Glaucoma by Using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Material and Methods: This study was conducted in ophthalmology department PNS Shifa, Karachi. From March 2013 to Jan 2015 for 23 months. A total of 350 glaucoma suspect patients were selected. A detailed history of ocular or systemic diseases was taken. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured using Goldmann Applanation tonometer. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images were taken using Heidelberg HRA + OCT Spectralis machine.

Changing Trends of Imaging in Angle Closure Evaluation
Primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) is a significant cause of visual disability worldwide. It predominantly affects the Eastern and South Asian population of the world. Early detection of anatomically narrow angles is important, and the subsequent prevention of visual loss from PACG depends on an accurate assessment of the anterior chamber angle (ACA). Gonioscopy has given way to modern day i...

The aim of this study was to evaluate macular thickness parameters in glaucoma patients and to compare them to normal subjects using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). This prospective, observational study included 20 primary open angle glaucoma patients (POAG) and 20 healthy subjects in control group. Exclusion criteria were diabetes and other macular pathology, like age-related macular degen...

Purpose: To report a case of peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation (choroidal schisis) and optic pit in a case of high myopia and open-angle glaucoma. Case report: A 30-year-old high myopic man was referred to our clinic for presumed peripapillary choroidal tumors. In funduscopy, there were two yellow-orange and slightly elevated peripapillary lesions in both eyes with indistinct margins. A s...

AIMS To evaluate central corneal thickness determined by optical coherence tomography (OCT) in various types of glaucoma, and its influence on intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement. METHODS Central corneal thickness (CCT) was determined by using OCT in 167 subjects (167 eyes). 20 had primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), 42 had low tension glaucoma (LTG), 22 had ocular hypertension (OHT), 10 h...
