purpose: to evaluate the outcomes of cataract extraction by phacoemulsification and posterior chamber intraocular lens (pciol) implantation in patients with chronic angle closure glaucoma (cacg). methods: consecutive cacg patients with co-existing visually significant cataracts were included in this noncomparative interventional case series. after obtaining informed consent, clear cornea phaco-...

Purpose : to summarize the experience of development and application artificial neural networks (ANW) in early diagnosis primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Material methods . A total 690 patients (918 eyes) were tested. The training clinical group consisted 459 examples (459 eyes), which 369 eyes had an initial stage POAG 90 no glaucoma. testing was represented by 131 (131 110 belonged with 21...

Glaucoma is a disease that affects the optic nerve. This disease, over period of time, can lead to loss vision. Which known as ‘silent thief sight’. There are several methods in which be treated, if detected at an early stage It not possible for any technology, including artificial intelligence, replace doctor. However, it develop model based on classical image processing algorithms, combined w...

BACKGROUND Glaucoma is an important cause of blindness. OBJECTIVE To report the distribution of various types of glaucoma among patients presenting to a tertiary eye hospital in Nepal. MATERIALS AND METHODS All new patients visiting the hospital between March 2007 and February 2008 underwent a comprehensive eye examination. Whenever glaucoma was suspected, patients were referred to fellowsh...

Inherited missense mutations in the myocilin olfactomedin domain are causative for early-onset glaucoma, via a toxic gain of function. We have elaborated atomic-level details misfolding relevant to glaucoma pathogenesis. Pathogenic olfactomedin-resident mutations, which account 90% all documented disease variants, destabilized and undergo templated amyloid-like aggregation under mild physiologi...

purpose : to compare the intraocular pressure (iop) lowering effect and side effects of xalatan with generic latanoprost (xalabiost) in adults with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension methods : this was a two-center prospective randomized, crossover clinical trial. eligible patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension were sequentially randomized to two parallel study groups ...

Purpose: To report 2 cases that underwent deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) and developed visually significant cataract and subsequently underwent femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery (FLACS). Methods: Both patients underwent FLACS with implantation of toric intraocular lens (IOL) for correction of postkeratoplasty astigmatism. Capsulorrhexis was performed with the femtosecond l...

Introduction: Cataracts and Glaucoma are the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide. Lens extraction using Phacoemulsification technique can be an effective IOP-lowering treatment for all types glaucoma.
 Objective: To study was to measure Intra-Ocular Pressure before after phacoemulsification determine mean change in Pressure.
 Methodology: This included 53 glaucoma patie...

Glaucoma is a primary cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, it kills the vision silently, having financial burden on society regarding therapy expenses and loss valuable hours day. Objective: To compare choroidal filling time grade status pattern optic nerve head (ONH) perfusion by fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) in glaucoma patients Methods: Patients with various types were enrolled ...

PURPOSE Few studies have provided epidemiological characteristics of childhood glaucoma in a large, multiethnic population. This information is important if we are to better screen for and characterize this specific type of glaucoma. In this study, we evaluate the characteristics of patients with childhood glaucoma, including glaucoma suspects, as identified through the Dallas Glaucoma Registry...
