Purpose: To quantitatively compare iridocorneal angle assessments using gonioscopy and anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT).
Patients: US and Chinese patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) and/or ocular hypertension (OHT).
Methods: Analysis was pooled from 2 multicenter, noninterventional studies conducted in the US and China. Gonioscopy Shaffer grade and an AS-OCT method that approximates the angle width relative to local morphologic variations were compared by measuring the same iridocorneal angles. A third, separate, single-center, noninterventional study was conducted to verify results observed from the pooled analysis.
Results: From the pooled studies, a total of 239 eyes were measured using Shaffer grade and AS-OCT. Of these, 6 were Shaffer grade 2, 37 in Shaffer grade 3, and 196 in Shaffer grade 4. There was a trend of increasing Shaffer grade with increasing AS-OCT angle width. Open iridocorneal angles, Shaffer grade ≥3, had a ~98% sensitivity and 88% positive predictive value for identifying AS-OCT angle width ≥300 µm, using the AS-OCT method. To verify these results, a total of 28 right eyes were imaged for the third study. A trend of increasing Shaffer grade with increasing AS-OCT angle width was observed, and angles with Shaffer grade ≤2 had AS-OCT angle width <300 µm.
Conclusion: The AS-OCT method can determine the space in the anterior chamber and can potentially identify angles that are the appropriate size for certain glaucoma devices. Information gathered from AS-OCT can provide additional comprehensive and quantitative assessment to gonioscopy.

Introduction Glaucoma is a group of progressive optic neuropathies and is a leading cause of blindness. Primary angle-closure glaucoma is a global health problem, and if left untreated, it can lead to irreversible vision loss. Anterior segment imaging with optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) is a rapidly advancing field in ophthalmology.

Purpose: To investigate the clinical outcomes of canaloplasty performed with the iTrack microcatheter (Nova Eye Medical, Fremont, USA) as a standalone procedure and in combination with phacoemulsification in patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG).
Methods: A single-center, retrospective case series of eyes undergoing canaloplasty via an ab-interno technique with a diagnosis of PACG based on gonioscopy findings (Shaffer grading). Patients were excluded if they had previously undergone a glaucoma procedure other than Laser Peripheral Iridotomy (LPI).
Predicting Immediate Lordosis Restoration After Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion and the Effect of Posterior Column Osteotomies.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of posterior column osteotomies (PCOs) combined with anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) on spinal curvature, specifically measuring changes in lordosis, in patients.
- A total of 99 patients were analyzed, with results showing that those who underwent PCOs experienced significantly greater improvements in lumbar lordosis, segmental lordosis, and disc angle compared to those who had just ALIF.
- The findings suggest that adding PCOs during ALIF procedures enhances spinal correction, allowing the disc angle to closely match the designed curvature of the interbody cage.
