Summary

Evaluation of the effect of phacoemulsification and YAG Laser peripheral iridotomy on the anterior chamber angle anatomic parameters in PACG eyes, using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (SS ASOCT) device

Detailed description

The recent treatment of ACG is phacoemulsification in patients of acute attack with YAG laser iridotomy in the other eye. The AS-OCT will be used for evaluation of the angle of the anterior chamber parameters in both eyes after phacoemulsification and YAG laser peripheral iridotomy. Follow up of AS-OCT will be done 1,3,6 months after surgery and we will compare results in each eye and between both eyes. .

Conditions

• Glaucoma, Angle-Closure

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	AS-OCT	Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS OCT) is an imaging device that can acquire an anterior segment image using a noncontact method with the patient in a sitting position. This device provides reproducible and quantitative measurements of the AC angle and other anterior segment parameters.
PROCEDURE	YAG laser PI	medical procedure which uses a laser device to create a hole in the iris, thereby allowing aqueous humor to traverse directly from the posterior to the anterior chamber and, consequently, relieve a pupillary block
