Purpose: We assessed the relationship between acute primary angle closure glaucoma (APACG) severity and macular microcirculation, as well as the diagnostic ability of blood flow and macular structural parameters on optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) for APACG.
Methods: APACG patients were assigned to mild, moderate, and severe groups in this cross-sectional study. Age-matched primary angle closure suspect (PACS) and healthy control groups were also recruited.
Purpose: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of inpatients who underwent surgery for glaucoma at Tianjin Eye Hospital from 2013 to 2017.
Methods: All glaucoma inpatients who underwent surgery at Tianjin Eye Hospital from 2013 to 2017 were evaluated. The relationships of age and sex with different types of glaucoma were analyzed.
Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is the most common type of glaucoma. At the mechanistic level, POAG is thought to be caused by extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition in the trabecular meshwork (TM). Growing evidence has shown that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the fibrotic process underlying many diseases.
