purpose: to evaluate the early and intermediate outcomes of ahmed glaucoma valve implantation in pediatric glaucoma at labbafinejad medical center. methods: this was a retrospective chart review of 101 eyes of 80 consecutive patients with pediatric glaucoma who underwent ahmed glaucoma valve implantation. success was defined as an intraocular pressure less than 21 mmhg with or without medicatio...

It is a matter of considerable clinical interest whether removal of the lens causes regression of pseudoexfoliation of the lens capsule. Before the paper by Dvorak-Theobald (I954), pseudoexfoliation of the lens capsule was often confused with true exfoliation, and it was suggested that lens extraction caused the condition to disappear (Irvine, I940; Gradle and Sugar, I947). After this paper app...

objective(s):glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness and it is related to oxidative stress based on numerous studies. glutathione s-transferases (gsts) are members of multigenic family, which have important role in cells as an antioxidant. in the present study, we examined the polymorphism of gstt1 and gstm1 deletion genotypes (t0m1, t1m0, and t0m0) in 100 glaucoma patients (41with pr...

PURPOSE To investigate the aqueous humor, lens, and serum concentrations of zinc, iron, and copper in patients with pseudoexfoliative cataract and compare with patients who have senile cataract without pseudoexfoliation. METHODS Twenty-five patients with pseudoexfoliative cataract and 25 patients with senile cataract as control group were enrolled in the study. Samples from aqueous humor, ser...

background: glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy and is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide. different factors have been contributed in the pathogenesis of glaucoma including h. pylori infection. objective: to determine the levels of anti-h. pylori igg antibody in the aqueous humor of patients with pseudoexfoliation and primary open angle glaucoma, in comparison with age and ...

In India, mutations in Cytochrome P450 (CYP1B1) are a predominant cause of not only primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) but also involved in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and juvenile onset glaucoma (JOAG). After ethical clearance, 100 POAG patients, 30 primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) patients and 130 ethnically matched controls were recruited in this study. Genomic DNA was is...

conclusion the study evaluated the biomechanical properties of the on and peripapillary structures in vivo with swe in glaucoma. we observed stiffer on and peripapillary tissue in glaucomatous eyes, indicating that swe claims new perspectives in the evaluation of on and peripapillary structures in glaucoma disease. background primary open-angle glaucoma is a multifactorial serious disease chara...
