[Comparison of anterior segment changes before and after laser peripheral iridectomy by anterior segment optical coherence tomography in eyes with primary acute angle closure glaucoma].
摘要
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the changes of anterior segment configuration after surgical peripheral iridectomy (SPI) in patients with primary acute angle closure glaucoma (PAACG) by using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). METHODS: This retrospective self control study consisted of thirty-seven eyes of 37 patients with PAACG who were consecutively recruited in Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center. The peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS) of these patients was less than 5 clock time point. Central anterior chamber depth (ACD), angle opening distance (AOD), trabecular iris area (TISA), angle recess area (ARA), anterior chamber width (ACW), anterior chamber volume (ACV), and crystalline lens rise (CLR) were measured using AS-OCT before and one month after SPI. RESULTS: After SPI, AOD (0.125 ± 0.072) µm, TISA (0.091 ± 0.041) mm(2), ARA (0.095 ± 0.042) mm(2), ACA (14.230 ± 2.000) mm(2) and ACV (90.074 ± 16.796) mm(3) were significantly increased compared with before SPI AOD (0.088 ± 0.078) µm, TISA (0.050 ± 0.048) mm(2), ARA (0.059 ± 0.057) mm(2), ACA (12.332 ± 2.457) mm(2), ACV (73.131 ± 16.976) mm(3) (t = -8.015 to 1.066, P = 0.001 to 0.044), respectively. There were no significantly changes in ACD, ACW and CLR (t = -1.505 to 0.516, P = 0.102 to 0.609). CONCLUSIONS: PAACG can be controlled by SPI resulting in an increase of AOD, TISA, ARA, ACA and ACV, but not ACD or CLR.
