Predicting the outcome of laser peripheral iridotomy for primary angle closure suspect eyes using anterior segment optical coherence tomography.

Purpose: Develop an algorithm to predict the success of laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) in primary angle closure suspect (PACS), using pretreatment anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) scans.

Methods: A total of 69 eyes with PACS underwent LPI and time-domain ASOCT scans (temporal and nasal cuts) were performed before and after LPI. After LPI, success is defined as one or more angles changed from closed to open.

Novel Automated Approach to Predict the Outcome of Laser Peripheral Iridotomy for Primary Angle Closure Suspect Eyes Using Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography.

Develop an algorithm to predict the success of laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) in primary angle closure suspect (PACS), using pre-treatment anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) scans. A total of 116 eyes with PACS underwent LPI and time-domain ASOCT scans (temporal and nasal cuts) were performed before and 1 month after LPI. All the post-treatment scans were classified to one of the following categories: (a) both angles open, (b) one of two angles open and (c) both angles closed.

Feasibility study of sustained-release travoprost punctum plug for intraocular pressure reduction in an Asian population.

Purpose: To investigate the efficacy and safety of a punctum plug-based sustained drug release system for a prostaglandin analog, travoprost (OTX-TP), for intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction in an Asian population.

Methods: This is an initial feasibility, prospective, single-arm study involving 26 eyes and a bioresorbable punctum plug containing OTX-TP. An OTX-TP was placed in the vertical portion of the superior or inferior canaliculus of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Anterior segment morphology after acute primary angle closure treatment: a randomised study comparing iridoplasty and medical therapy.

Purpose: To compare the effect of argon laser peripheral iridoplasty (ALPI) and conventional medical therapy in the immediate treatment of acute primary angle closure (APAC) using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT).

Methods: In this single tertiary centre, prospective comparative study, we randomised 30 consecutive patients with unilateral APAC into two groups: ALPI and medical treatment (n=15 each). Immediately before and 1 h after either intervention, ASOCT imaging was performed.

Micropulse versus continuous wave transscleral diode cyclophotocoagulation in refractory glaucoma: a randomized exploratory study.

Background: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of micropulse and continuous wave diode transscleral cyclophotocoagulation in refractory glaucoma.

Design: Randomized, comparative, exploratory study in a tertiary hospital setting.

Participants: Patients with refractory, end-stage glaucoma.

Pretreatment anterior segment imaging during acute primary angle closure: insights into angle closure mechanisms in the acute phase.

Objective: To describe anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) parameters during acute primary angle closure (APAC) before therapeutic interventions and comparative analyses of biometric parameters of APAC eyes with fellow eyes.

Design: Prospective, comparative case series.

Participants: Thirty-one consecutive patients with APAC.

Management of angle closure glaucoma.

Primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) is equally prevalent in Indian in Asian population as the primary open angle glaucoma. Eighty-six percent of people with PACG are in Asia, with approximately 48.0% in China, 23.
