Primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) is a significant cause of visual disability worldwide. It predominantly affects the Eastern and South Asian population of the world. Early detection of anatomically narrow angles is important, and the subsequent prevention of visual loss from PACG depends on an accurate assessment of the anterior chamber angle (ACA). Gonioscopy has given way to modern day i...

To compare anterior segment parameters using quantitative imaging by anterior segment time domain optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) and high frequency ultrasound biomicroscopy (HF-UBM). SETTING: Department of Ophthalmology at Bari University. METHODS: Seventy-two eyes of 72 subjects had anterior segment evaluation by AS-OCT (Stratus ver 6Zeiss) and HF-UBM (OTI-Scan HF35-50). Central corneal...

In recent years, the rapid development of diagnostic optic devices has generated optical coherence tomography (OCT) as a new, non-invasive diagnostic method. With technical progress of the infrared spectrum at 1,310 nm, OCT of the anterior segment also became feasible. With anterior segment OCT different examinations which so far were ruled out by ultrasound in contact manner could be executed ...
