Twenty eyes in group A received the conventional approach by using toothed forceps through corneal limbus incision, and 22 eyes in group B underwent the novel method through the opposite corneal limbus incision. RESULTS:The success rate of ACFB once removal was 75%(15/20) in group A, and 100%(22/22) in group B. The average operation time of group A was significantly longer compared with group B(34.9±9.88 min vs 22.13±8.85min; P〈0.05). The average size of corneal limbus incision in group A was significantly larger than that of group B(4.85±1.89 mm vs 3.95±1.17 mm; P〈0.05). The corneal limbus incision suturing were conducted in all eyes in group A, and only 5 eyes in group B. CONCLUSION:Removal of ACFB using a prism contact lens and 23-gauge foreign body forceps is a safer, more effective, and convenient technique compared with the conventional approach.展开更多

Totally 14 eyes of primary chronic angle-closure glaucoma(PCACG), 12 eyes of lens-induced secondary chronic angleclosure glaucoma(LSACG) and 14 healthy eyes were recruited. After miosis, for PCACG group, intraocular pressure(IOP) and anterior chamber depth(ACD) changed not significantly, while anterior chamber angle widened significantly. LSACG group showed a significant increase in IOP, decrease in ACD, and narrowing in anterior chamber angle. Healthy eyes showed significant decreases in IOP and anterior chamber parameters. Thus, miosis could widen the anterior chamber angle of patients with PCACG, while increase the narrowing of anterior chamber angle and IOP of patients with LSACG. We should pay attention to the distinction between PCACG and LSACG patients and the proper administration of pilocarpine in the treatment of patients with chronic ACG.展开更多

Methods:.The anterior chamber depth (ACD), and lens thickness (LT), of 150 normal subjects (150 eyes) was measured by anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS- OCT)..Gender differences were assessed by independent t-test,.and correlation analysis was used to examine the effect of age. Results:.The mean values of ACD and LT were 2.69±0.32 mm and 4.85±0.43 mm, respectively. Women had a significantly lower Mean ACD as compared to men (2.56±0.33 mm vs 2.85±0.29 mm; P﹤0.05). No statistically significant difference was found in LT between male and female subjects (P>0.05)..Correlation analysis findings suggest that LT increases with age (r=0.83,P﹤0.05), and that ACD decreases with age (r=-0.57,P﹤0.05). After controlling for LT, no significant correlation was observed between age and ACD (P>0.05). Conclusion:.The ACD of female subjects was,.on average, shallower than that of their male counterparts..Aging was associated with increasing LT,.and the observed narrowing of ACD with age,.might be partially mediated by the increasing LT.展开更多

The ratio between the lens thickness and the axial length (lens thickness to axial length factor, LAF) was evaluated as a biometric index for assessing the eye with primary ACG in Chinese. LAF of 2.00 was found to be ideal point of demarcation between ACG and normal eyes (i.e., lens thickness equals to 1/5 of axial length). It appears that LAF is helpful i...展开更多
