1. Screening for Narrow Angles in the Singapore Population: Evaluation of New Noncontact Screening Methods

    Explore Article OphSource (Sep 30 2008) Ophthalmology

    Purpose: To assess the screening effectiveness of 3 new noncontact devices, the scanning peripheral anterior chamber depth analyzer (SPAC) (Takagi, Nagano, Japan), which measures peripheral anterior chamber depth (ACD); IOLMaster (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany), which measures central ACD; and Visante anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) (Visante, Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA), which images the angles, and to compare these instruments with gonioscopy in identifying people with narrow angles ...

  2. Changes in Angle Configuration After Phacoemulsification Measured by Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography.

    Explore Article Journal of Glaucoma (Sep 15 2008) Ophthalmology

    Purpose: To measure changes in angle width after phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). Materials and Methods: Twenty-one patients undergoing cataract surgery were recruited from the National University Hospital, Singapore. AS-OCT images were obtained of nasal and temporal angle quadrants before and at 1-month after surgery. Optical measurements of central anterior chamber depth were obtained, and gonioscopic measurement of angle width was recorded. ... (Read Full Article)

  3. Assessment of the Scleral Spur in Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography Images

    Explore Article Archives of Ophthalmology (Feb 10 2008) Ophthalmology

    Objective  To assess visibility of the scleral spur in anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) images. Methods  This cross-sectional observational study included 502 participants aged 50 years or older who had no previous ophthalmic problems and were recruited from a community clinic in Singapore. All participants underwent gonioscopy and AS-OCT (Visante; Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, California). Scleral spur location was assessed in AS-OCT images by 2 examiners with glaucoma subspecialty ...

  4. Changes in anterior segment morphology in response to illumination and after laser iridotomy in Asian eyes: an anterior segment OCT study

    Explore Article BJO Online (Oct 18 2007) Ophthalmology

    Aim: Using the anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) to quantify changes in anterior segment morphology going from light to dark and following laser iridotomy (LI). Methods: Prospective observational study. 17 consecutive subjects without peripheral anterior synechiae undergoing LI were evaluated using gonioscopy and AS-OCT. Angle configuration including angle opening distance (AOD) at 500 microns anterior to the scleral spur, AOD500, trabecular-iris space area up to 750 microns from the ... (Read Full Article)
