Primary angle‐closure glaucoma: an update

Acta Ophthalmologica, 2015
Abstract Primary angle‐closure glaucoma is potentially a devastating disease, responsible for half of glaucoma‐related blindness worldwide. Angle closure is characterized by appositional approximation or contact between the iris and trabecular meshwork. It tends to develop in eyes with shallow

Gonioscopy in primary angle closure glaucoma

Seminars in Ophthalmology, 2002
Primary angle closure is a condition characterized by obstruction to aqueous humor outflow by the peripheral iris, and results in changes in the iridocorneal angle that are visible through gonioscopic examination. Gonioscopy in these eyes, however, can be difficult. This chapter discusses techniques that might help in the examination.

Trabeculectomy for acute primary angle closure

Ophthalmology, 2000
To analyze the results of trabeculectomy performed for all cases of acute primary angle closure (APAC).Retrospective, noncomparative case seriesFifty-six consecutive patients who underwent trabeculectomy for APAC at two Singapore centers from 1993 through 1995.The conventional treatment for APAC is to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) medically, after ...

The Endothelium in Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma

American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1984
Specular microscopy of 56 eyes with primary angle-closure glaucoma showed a significant (P less than .05) loss of endothelial cells in eyes when any of the following were present: visual field loss; a cup-disk ratio greater than 0.5; a previous acute attack of angle closure; and surgery in addition to peripheral iridectomy.

Progression in Primary Angle Closure Eyes

Journal of Glaucoma, 2010
To study the long-term course of primary angle closure (PAC) eyes after iridotomy.Seventy-two eyes of 72 patients diagnosed as PAC, having occludable angles with evidence of closure, but no ocular hypertension, were studied. Laser iridotomy was carried out in all eyes at baseline.

Phacoemulsification Treatment of Subjects With Acute Primary Angle Closure and Chronic Primary Angle-closure Glaucoma

Journal of Glaucoma, 2009
To investigate and compare the effects of phacoemulsification as an initial procedure to control intraocular pressure (IOP) in eyes with acute primary angle closure (APAC) and chronic primary angle-closure glaucoma (CPACG) with coexisting cataracts and peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS) of greater than 180 degrees.Prospective, cross-sectional study ...

Comparison of Ocular Biometry Between Eyes With Chronic Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma and their Fellow Eyes With Primary Angle-Closure or Primary Angle-Closure Suspect

Journal of Glaucoma, 2015
To compare the eye with chronic primary angle-closure glaucoma (CPACG) with its fellow eye without glaucoma damage and to determine the biometric differences that may predispose to development of CPACG.Consecutive patients diagnosed with CPACG in 1 eye and primary angle-closure (PAC)/primary angle-closure suspected (PACS) in the fellow eye were ...

Comparison of Fellow Eyes of Acute Primary Angle Closure and Phacomorphic Angle Closure

Journal of Glaucoma, 2019
Purpose: To compare anterior segment parameters in fellow eyes of acute primary angle closure (APAC) and fellow eyes of phacomorphic angle closure (AC) and to identify parameters that could be used to differentiate fellow eyes of the 2 entities.

A history of primary angle closure glaucoma

Survey of Ophthalmology, 1995
The satisfactory control and cure of attacks of primary angle closure glaucoma spans one hundred years following von Graefe's iridectomy in 1856. Gonioscopy was required to validate the theories of shallow anterior chamber and pupillary obstruction, but the gonioscopists looked for the causes of angle closure in their own territory at the angle in the ...
