Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the prevalence and anatomical features of plateau iris (PI) in patients with primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) using ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM).
- An analysis was conducted on 50 UBM images, revealing that 36% of cases had PI, with significant differences in certain measurements between PI and non-PI eyes.
- Findings indicate that deeper anterior chamber depth and higher anterior placement of ciliary processes are key indicators for diagnosing PI among PACG patients.
Purpose: To investigate the correlation between changes in lamina cribrosa (LC) structure using enhanced depth imaging (EDI) and severity of visual field (VF) affection in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
Patients And Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study was carried out on 52 glaucomatous eyes of 28 POAG patients who attended Tanta University Eye Hospital and 40 normal eyes of 20 age-matched normal subjects from April 2020 to March 2021. POAG patients were classified according to the modified Hodapp-Anderson-Parrish grading scale based on the MD of the standard automated perimetry (SAP) visual field into two groups: group (1) - mild-to-moderate POAG patients (MD ≤ 12 dB), group (2) - severe POAG patients (MD ≥ 12 dB) and the third group included normal (control) age- and gender-matched individuals.
