| description | Background: It has been estimated that 67 million peopleworldwide are affected with a primary glaucoma and that onethirdhave primary angle closure glaucoma. We aimed to determinethe biometric differences between the eyes of patientswith acute attack of primary angle closure and their noninvolvedfellow eyes.Methods: Twenty eight patients with acute attack of primary angleclosure were recruited in this prospective study. Three weeksafter laser iridotomy and resolution of corneal edema, all patientshad a complete ocular examination including slit lamp biomicroscopy,pachymetry, keratometry, and ocular biometry. The followingA-scan parameters were measured: anterior chamberdepth, lens thickness, axial length, lens– axial length factor, relativelens position, and corrected anterior chamber depth.Results: There were 22 (78.5%) women and six (21.5%) menwith mean age of 52.82±9.25 years. There were no statisticallysignificant differences in the biometric figures between theaffected and fellow eyes [anterior chamber depth (P=0.4), lensthickness (P=0.4), axial length (P=0.7), lens-axial length factor(P=0.6), relative lens position (P=0.7), and corrected anteriorchamber depth (P=0.8)]. The mean ± standard deviation ofcentral corneal thickness in the affected and fellow eyes were560.12±41.93 and 557.727±18.53, respectively (P=0.806).There was no statistically significant difference between theboth eyes in the mean keratometric diopters in the affected andin the fellow eyes (45.05±2.02 v 44.91±1.73; P=0.78).Conclusion: The present study did not reveal any statisticallysignificant differences regarding the ocular biometricparameters between the affected and fellow eyes in patientswith acute primary angle closure. The biometric parameterswere similar between male and female patients as well. |
