To evaluate anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) data in patients with unilateral blunt ocular trauma (BOT), to determine the relationship of results with hyphema development....
21 patients who received unilateral BOT were included in the study. Healthy eyes of patients were included in the control group. Iris stromal thickness (IST), schlemm canal area (SCA) and pupil diamet...
The mean nasal and temporal (n-t) IST was measured as 373± 40 µm and 369 ± 35 µm in BOT in comparison with 344 ± 35 µm and 335 ± 36 µm in control eyes, respectively (p = 0.000 and p = 0.001, respectiv...
The ISTs of the traumatized eyes in the nasal and temporal quadrants were statistically thicker than the other healthy eyes. SCA in both nasal and temporal quadrants of eyes with hyphema was statistic...
It is known that cataract extraction is associated with a significant reduction in intraocular pressure, especially in narrow angled eyes; however, the modifications of anterior segment parameters ass...
This retrospective case series study included 64 eyes of 64 consecutive patients who underwent phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation. Anterior segment parameters and intraocular press...
All anterior segment parameters increased significantly after surgery (p < 0.05). Both angle opening distance at 500 µm anterior to the scleral spur and anterior chamber depth changes were positively ...
Cataract surgery led to significant widening of the anterior chamber angle and lowering of intraocular pressure. Further investigations are needed to better understand whether anterior chamber width m...
The main barriers keeping individuals with high-risk of angle closure from seeking eye-care service are the absence of both disease awareness and convenient and low-cost access to the ocular health ca...
From March 1 to April 30, 2017, consecutive individuals aged ≥ 40 years undergoing routine physical examinations at a health examination center were invited to enroll. Presenting visual acuity (PVA), ...
Altogether, 991 participants (77.3%) with readable OCT images (mean age 55.5 ± 9.0 years; 58.4% men) were included. HRAC was diagnosed in 78 eyes (7.9%, 61.3 ± 8.2 years, 41.0% men). The prevalence of...
HRAC is prevalent among asymptomatic Chinese adults undergoing routine health screening. Health examination center-based eye screening with AS-OCT administered by non-specialists may be a good model t...
Subgrouping of angle closure mechanisms based on the swept-source optical coherence tomography images may help to identify the predominant underlying anatomic mechanism, evaluate personal treatment, a...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in anterior segment parameters in Caucasian eyes with different angle closure mechanisms before and after laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI)....
Sixty-six subjects underwent swept-source optical coherence tomography (CASIA, Tomey Corporation) angle imaging in the dark before and 7 days after LPI. On the basis of the baseline swept-source optic...
The mean age of subjects was 67.7±9.2 years, with the majority being female (82.2%). One hundred twenty-nine eyes (67 primary angle closure suspects, 34 primary angle closure, and 28 primary angle clo...
In patients with angle closure, anterior segment morphology and LPI-induced angle widening were different among the various angle closure mechanisms....
To evaluate the agreement of ocular biometry measured using a swept-source optical coherence (Casia 2) and a dual Scheimpflug (Galilei G6) tomography in keratoconus....
This retrospective study included 102 eyes from 102 keratoconus patient examined using both devices. Parameters compared included flat (Kf) and steep (Ks) keratometry, astigmatism of anterior, posteri...
Anterior and total Ks and Kf showed moderate or good agreement with 95% limits of agreement (LoA) range over 9.75 D. Posterior Ks and Kf were lower in the Galilei G6 (all p < 0.001). Astigmatism showe...
The agreement between the two devices was not excellent for most parameters used to diagnose keratoconus and assess disease progression, and the differences were clinically significant. Therefore, the...
The growing push to integrate telemedicine into ophthalmic practices requires physicians to have a thorough understanding of ophthalmic telemedicine's applications, limitations, and recent advances in...
Virtual care for anterior segment evaluation relies on appropriate technology, novel workflows, and appropriate clinical case selection. Recent advances, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pande...
Novel digital tools and workflows enable high-quality anterior segment evaluation and management for select ophthalmic concerns. This review highlights the clinical tools and workflows necessary to en...
Anterior segment dysgenesis is a severe developmental eye disorder that leads to blindness in children. The exact mechanisms underlying this condition remain elusive. Recently, an increasing amount of...
Intravitreal injections (IVI s) have gained increased popularity in the past decades and are used to treat a multitude of ailments. In 2010, the total number of IVI s surpassed the number of cataract ...
This study aims to investigate the morphologic features of the crystalline lens in Primary Angle Closure Disease (PACD) patients with zonular instability during cataract surgery using the swept-source...
A total of 398 eyes (125 PACD eyes with zonular instability, 133 PACD eyes with zonular stability, and 140 cataract patient controls) of 398 patients who underwent cataract surgery combined or not gla...
The results revealed that PACD eyes had a more anterior lens equator position, a steeper anterior curvature of lens, shorter Axial Length (AL), shallower Anterior Chamber Distance (ACD), higher Lens V...
Steeper anterior curvature, increased lens anterior part thickness, higher anterior-to-posterior part thickness ratio, shallower ACD, and greater LV are the anatomic features of PACD eyes associated w...
Scleritis and episcleritis are an overlapping spectrum of diseases and accurate diagnosis is of utmost importance as the treatment and prognosis are vastly different. Predominantly a clinical diagnosi...
To highlight the role of AS-OCT in delineating various anatomical forms of episcleritis and scleritis and explore this tool in monitoring disease course and response to therapy....
A comprehensive literature search was carried out in various medical databases using keywords AS-OCT and scleritis; AS-OCT and episcleritis; anterior segment imaging in scleritis; scleritis and episcl...
After a thorough assessment, it was clear that published literature lacks guidelines for uniform interpretation and also for classification and follow-up in scleritis. We describe a uniform protocol f...
AS-OCT can be used to localize the level of scleral inflammation thus helping in the diagnosis of scleral inflammatory disease. It can be a valuable tool in studying progression....
