Anterior Chamber Morphology Changes Before and After Laser Peripheral Iridotomy in Eyes with Primary Angle Closure Using Ultrasound Biomicroscopy
نویسنده
چکیده
Methods: Forty eyes of 40 patients with PAC underwent detailed ophthalmic evaluation including applanation tonometry, gonioscopy, optic disc evaluation with +78D lens and achromatic automated perimetry. UBM was performed to evaluate angle parameters before and after LPI to study the trabeculariris angle (TIA), the angleopening distance at 500 mm (AOD) and the central anterior chamber depth (ACD), iris convexity and thickness.

Evaluation of Anterior Segment Changes Following Laser Peripheral Iridotomy Using Pentacam Scheimpflug Imaging System in Eyes with Primary Angle Closure (PAC)
Primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) is a major form of glaucoma in Asia. It is a leading cause of blindness worldwide. Laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) is the standard firstline intervention in both acute and chronic forms. It is successful in preventing recurrence of acute attacks and virtually eliminates the risk of an acute attack in the fellow eye. Peripheral iridotomy eliminates pupillar...

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...
