Clarifying the nomenclature for primary angle-closure glaucoma
Survey of Ophthalmology, 1997Despite tremendous development in the field of glaucoma, there is confusion in the nomenclature system for classification, gonioscopy, and mechanisms of primary angle-closure glaucoma. In this article, we critically review the various nomenclature systems and suggest some modifications to the current classifications.

Primary angle closure glaucoma and retinitis pigmentosa
Acta Ophthalmologica, 1993Abstract. The prevalence of primary open angle glaucoma in patients with retinitis pigmentosa ranges from 2–12%. To the best of our knowledge the prevalence of primary angle closure glaucoma in retinitis pigmentosa patients has not been reported. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of primary angle closure glaucoma in patients with ...

Gonioscopy in primary angle closure glaucoma
Seminars in Ophthalmology, 2002Primary 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.

The Endothelium in Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1984Specular 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.

Primary angle‐closure glaucoma: an update
Acta Ophthalmologica, 2015Abstract 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

Phacotrabeculectomy in Treatment of Primary Angle-closure Glaucoma and Primary Open-angle Glaucoma
Japanese Journal of Ophthalmology, 2004To evaluate the surgical outcome of combined phacoemulsification, posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation, and trabeculectomy (phacotrabeculectomy) in patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) or primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).The records of 57 consecutive patients (65 eyes) with PACG or POAG that were treated with ...

Primary angle closure and primary angle closure glaucoma in retinal vein occlusion
Acta Ophthalmologica, 2018AbstractPurposeTo investigate the frequency of primary angle closure (PAC) and primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) in patients with retinal vein occlusion (RVO) based on a hospital population.MethodsA total of 375 consecutive cases newly diagnosed with RVO by fluorescein fundus angiography at a single eye centre in Peking were reviewed.

A history of primary angle closure glaucoma
Survey of Ophthalmology, 1995The 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 ...

Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1970The corticosteroid responsiveness of intraocular pressure was determined in 15 primary angleclosure glaucoma patients. None of them responded to the topical administration of 0.1% betamethasone ophthalmic solution with a rise in pressure greater than 6 mm Hg.

Prevalence of Angle Closure in Siblings of Patients With Primary Angle-closure Glaucoma
Journal of Glaucoma, 2015To determine the frequency of angle closure in siblings of patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG).In this cross-sectional observational study, siblings of consecutive patients with PACG underwent a comprehensive ophthalmologic examination, including slit-lamp biomicroscopy, measurement of intraocular pressure, stereoscopic optic nerve head
