Polymerase Chain Reaction for Detection of in Granulomatous Anterior Uveitis - An Analysis of 51 Eyes.

Purpose: To evaluate the role of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in detecting in granulomatous anterior uveitis and comparing the results with those of Mantoux test, QuantiFERON-TB Gold test, and High-Resolution Computed Tomography of Chest (HRCT-chest).

Methods: Data of 51 eyes of 38 patients with clinical features of granulomatous anterior uveitis undergoing anterior chamber fluid aspiration for PCR for MTb targeting IS6110 and MPB64 were studied.

Results: Out of 38 patients, 25 (65.

Anterior Chamber Biometric Parameters Associated With Intraocular Pressure Reduction After Phacoemulsification in Non-Glaucomatous Eyes With Open Angles.

Background: Decreased intra-ocular pressure after cataract surgery has been reported in eyes with and without glaucoma with variable magnitude. It is influenced by the anatomical structure of the anterior chamber. Preoperative evaluation of anterior chamber parameters can help to predict the change in intra-ocular pressure postoperatively.
