purpose : to evaluate central corneal thickness (cct) in patients with juvenile glaucoma and compare it with that of normal individuals methods : a prospective, case-control study was performed on 80 eyes with juvenile glaucoma who attended glaucoma clinic in farabi eye hospital, tehran, iran and 107 clinically normal healthy eyes. standard automated perimetry (sap) was performed for all the pa...

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...

AbstractGlaucoma management in pregnant patients is a real challenge, especially when the glaucoma is not controlled with medications. We report the results of 6 incisional glaucoma surgeries for the management of medically uncontrolled glaucoma patients during pregnancy. This retrospective, case series was conducted on the 6 eyes of 3pregnant patients with uncontrolled glaucoma using maximum t...

PURPOSE To evaluate the outcome of trabeculotomy combined with sinusotomy for juvenile glaucoma. METHODS We studied 16 patients (25 eyes) (age range, 11-50 years) with juvenile glaucoma for a minimum follow-up period of 1 year. We performed combined trabeculotomy and sinusotomy surgery in 13 juvenile glaucoma patients (18 eyes), and trabeculotomy alone in 6 patients (7 eyes). RESULTS The in...

A REGULAR Mendelian dominant pattern of inheritance is characteristic of so-called juvenile glaucoma and some hundred genealogies have been recorded (Fran9ois, 1961), two-thirds showing one or two affected generations and the other third three to six generations. However, in a condition of such high prevalence as primary glaucoma, two successive affected generations are not sufficient to prove ...

Aim: To study the prevalence of Glaucoma and its sub types in North costal Andhra Pradesh South India. Results: Among total number 2,98,971 General ophthalmic OPD individuals, 4836 individuals referred to clinic on suspicion glaucoma 4320 patients are confirmed have after doing relevant investigations. 1884 primary open angle (POAG), 1057 Primary Angle closure disease (PACD), 702 suspect or at ...

PURPOSE To screen a population with primary open-angle glaucoma for mutations in the gene that encodes the trabecular meshwork inducible glucocorticoid response protein (TIGR), also known as myocilin (MYOC). METHODS Ophthalmologic information was collected for study subjects with primary open-angle glaucoma and their relatives. Mutation screening of 74 primary open-angle glaucoma probands was...
