Background/aims Although being a more objective tool for assessment and follow-up of angle closure, reliability studies have reported a moderate diagnostic performance for anterior segment optical ...

Open-angle glaucoma (OAG) is a leading cause of permanent blindness worldwide, and surgical interventions that restore the natural aqueous humor outflow pathway have emerged as promising treatment ...

A patient who has previously experienced successful intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction following selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) is more likely to see similar success with subsequent ...

Researchers found that prolene suture gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) is efficient in reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) and diminishing the long-term usage of glaucoma ...

Finally, gonioscopy should also be performed, no matter how recently it was last done, if a problem arises with the control of the IOP. Different forms, different treatments ...

Angle-closure glaucoma is a major cause of blindness in Asia and could be detected by measuring the anterior chamber angle (ACA) using gonioscopy, ultrasound biomicroscopy or anterior segment (AS) ...

Reviewed by Oluwatosin U. Smith, MD Glaucoma is a leading cause of vision loss worldwide, and the risk of developing glaucoma is known to be higher for patients undergoing corneal transplant. To lower ...

Gonioscopy can be an important clinical tool to detect IOFB located at the ciliary sulcus or ciliary body area in the absence of ultrasound biomicroscopy. Scleral indentation-assisted direct ...

Gonioscopy may be performed if other tests during the eye exam indicate that you have glaucoma. Alternatively, it may be used as part of a routine comprehensive eye exam to confirm that there are no ...

Overall, AS-OCT did not reveal iris trabecular contact in 15.3% to 17.6% of eyes, indicating a sensitivity between 82.4% and 84.7% for detecting gonioscopic angle closure. The extent of iris ...
