Radius of curvature of the anterior lens surface. Correlations in normal eyes and in eyes involved with primary angle-closure glaucoma.
Recent papers have presented correlations between the radius of curvature of the anterior lens surface and anterior chamber depth (Lowe, I972), and between the anterior lens radius and the anterior and posterior corneal radius (Lowe and Clark, I973). This paper presents measurements of anterior lens radius in relation to age, lens thickness, and axial length in two series comprising 9I normal e...
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...
متن کاملCentral corneal thickness. Ocular correlations in normal eyes and those with primary angle-closure glaucoma.
In recent papers (Lowe, I968, I969a) it was shown that in normal eyes, lens position and thickness were coordinated with axial length and radius of corneal curvature, whereas in eyes with primary angle-closure glaucoma these correlations were lacking. Throughout adult life, lenses increase in thickness at the same rate in normal eyes and those with angle-closure glaucoma, but no change could be...
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 کاملAetiology of the anatomical basis for primary angle-closure glaucoma. Biometrical comparisons between normal eyes and eyes with primary angle-closure glaucoma.
Shallowness of the anterior chamber received special attention after the demonstration by von Graefe (1857) that iridectomy could cure acute glaucoma. Bowman (I862) referred to the care required in performing iridectomies on eyes with shallow anterior chambers. Over many years, and by careful dissections of cadaver and enucleated eyes, Priestley Smith (I89I) concluded that the shallow anterior ...
