Structural differences between optic nerve head (ONH) parameters in glaucomatous and non-glaucomatous eyes has been documented, however the association between such parameters in patients with different disease stages is yet to be elucidated. We investigated the relationship between different laminar and prelaminar ONH structures using enhanced depth imaging spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (EDI OCT) in a population with and without glaucoma. In this observational case-control study, we prospectively enrolled healthy individuals and glaucomatous patients with different disease stages.

- The study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and treatment outcomes of non-pupillary block angle-closure mechanisms in Brazilian patients who underwent laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) from 2009 to 2012.
- A total of 196 eyes were assessed, with LPI successfully opening the angle in 86% of patients and significantly reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) from 18.3 to 15.4 mmHg.
- Among patients with persistent angle closure, plateau iris and lens-induced mechanisms were most common, and most were effectively treated with argon laser peripheral iridoplasty (ALPI), resulting in a 90% success rate in achieving non-occludable angles.
