Slit-lamp measurement of the anterior chamber depth.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A technique is proposed which allows assessment of the anterior chamber depth with a standard table slit-lamp without any extra attachments. A final approximation is made which suggests that a 1 degree change in the angle between the observation and illumination systems of the slit lamp when the end point is reached indicates a change in anterior chamber depth of 0.1 mm.

Depth measurement with the slit-lamp microscope.
The sagittal distance of ocular structures can be obtained with a slit-lamp microscope providing the movement of the slit-lamp can be measured. A simple device consisting of a pointer attached by a spring clip to the axle of a Haag-Streit 900 slit-lamp is described. The pointer rides over a scale which slides with the slit-lamp. Comparisons of anterior chamber depth and lens thickness showed a ...
متن کاملA new method of estimating the depth of the anterior chamber.
A new method of estimating the depth of the anterior chamber with an accuracy of approximately 0-1 mm is described. The estimate is made with a conventional Haag-Streit 900 slit lamp without any extra attachments.
متن کاملDynamic accommodative changes in rhesus monkey eyes assessed with A-scan ultrasound biometry.
PURPOSE Prior studies in humans measured time constants of biometric accommodative changes as a function of amplitude, and prior studies in monkeys used slit lamp videography to analyze dynamic lenticular accommodative movements. Neither of these studies related biometric changes to refractive changes. We wished to develop and test methodology to begin to test the hypothesis that ocular biometr...

AIM To assess the value of slit lamp adapted optical coherence tomography (OCT) for the management of malignant glaucoma following filtration surgery. METHODS Two patients (three eyes) developed malignant glaucoma following filtration surgery for primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). With slit lamp adapted OCT it was possible to image non-invasively the anterior chamber angle structures during ...
متن کاملThe Biometric Values of Affected and Fellow Eyes in Patients with Acute Attack of Primary Angle Closure
Background: It has been estimated that 67 million people worldwide are affected with a primary glaucoma and that one-third have primary angle closure glaucoma. We aimed to determine the biometric differences between the eyes of patients with acute attack of primary angle closure and their non-involved fellow eyes. Methods: Twenty eight patients with acute attack of primary angle closure were re...
