ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ophtha.2014.03.039 | Abstract: | Objective: To determine longitudinal changes in angle configuration in the eyes of primary angle-closure suspects (PACS) treated by laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) and in untreated fellow eyes. Design: Longitudinal cohort study. Participants: Primary angle-closure suspects aged 50 to 70 years were enrolled in a randomized, controlled clinical trial. Methods: Each participant was treated by LPI in 1 randomly selected eye, with the fellow eye serving as a control. Angle width was assessed in a masked fashion using gonioscopy and anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) before and at 2 weeks, 6 months, and 18 months after LPI. Main Outcome Measures: Angle width in degrees was calculated from Shaffer grades assessed under static gonioscopy. Angle configuration was also evaluated using angle opening distance (AOD250, AOD500, AOD750), trabecular-iris space area (TISA500, TISA750), and angle recess area (ARA) measured in AS-OCT images. Results: No significant difference was found in baseline measures of angle configuration between treated and untreated eyes. At 2 weeks after LPI, the drainage angle on gonioscopy widened from a mean of 13.5° at baseline to a mean of 25.7° in treated eyes, which was also confirmed by significant increases in all AS-OCT angle width measures (P | Source Title: | Ophthalmology | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/128788 | ISSN: | 01616420 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.ophtha.2014.03.039 |
