Pentacam sensitivity and specificity in detecting occludable angles.

Purpose: To assess the sensitivity and specificity of Pentacam measurements in detection of occludable angles and to provide cutoff values.

Methods: Observational, single-center, cross-sectional study on 64 Caucasian eyes: 28 (43.7%) primary narrow angles or primary angle-closure glaucoma, and 36 (56.

Anterior chamber measurements taken with Pentacam: an objective tool in laser iridotomy.

Purpose: Laser iridotomy is the standard first-line intervention in both acute and chronic forms of angle closure because it prevents the recurrence of acute attacks and virtually eliminates the risk of an acute attack in the fellow eye. Pentacam is a new imaging modality which does not require probe contact or an immersion bath. The instrument will allow anterior segment morphology before and after laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) to be quantified.
