Pit-like changes of the optic nerve head in open-angle glaucoma.

Peripapillary Intrachoroidal Cavitation and Optic Pit in a Case of High Myopia and Glaucoma

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...

Gonioscopic 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: ...

Aging changes of the optic nerve head in relation to open angle glaucoma.

AIMS To determine the age related changes in optic nerve head structure in a group of normal subjects and assess the significance of any changes in relation to those found in open angle glaucoma. METHODS A group of 88 white volunteers and friends and spouses of patients with a normal visual field and normal intraocular pressure was studied. Two different imaging and measurement devices were u...

Analysis of Angiographies in Human Healthy Eyes and in Open-angle Glaucoma Retinal Mean Transit Time and Optic Nerve Head Circulation

Fluorescein angiography in chronic simple and low-tension glaucoma.

Fluorescein angiograms were performed on a group of low-tension glaucoma and chronic simple glaucoma patients with similar extent of visual field loss, under standardised conditions, to see whether differences attributable to chronic intraocular pressure elevation could be detected. There was no evidence for difference in circulation times between these two groups. There was no evidence that hy...
