September 2024
Aim: To evaluate the effects of antiglaucoma eye drops on corneal nerves by confocal microscopy (IVCM).
Methods: This study comprised 79 patients diagnosed with glaucoma and 16 healthy control individuals. Among the glaucoma patients, 54 were treated with medication, while 25 remained untreated.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the increase in acute primary angle closure (APAC) cases during the COVID-19 post-restriction period compared to a control period, analyzing patient characteristics and symptoms.
- Researchers reviewed medical records of patients from two eye centers in China, collecting data on their eye conditions, COVID-19 symptoms, and lifestyle changes through questionnaires.
- Results showed a significant rise in younger patients with APAC after restrictions, with many diagnosed with concurrent COVID-19, experiencing symptoms like coughing and changes in daily water intake and outdoor activity.
Aim: To examine the change of iris volume measured by CASIA2 anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) in glaucoma patients with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and explore if there is a correlation between hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level and iris volume.
Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 72 patients (115 eyes) were divided into two groups: primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) group (55 eyes) and primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) group (60 eyes). Patients in each group were separately classified into patients with or without T2DM.
