Filter by:To evaluate the long-term effects of oral citicoline, vitamins A, B, C and E, and blackcurrant therapy in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) using optical coherence tomography (OCT), OCT angiography (OCTA) and microperimetry parameters.
BACKGROUND: Primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) is one of a leading cause of blindness worldwide including Thailand. This problem impact to the overall health of people and health care system. Treatment guidelines of each stage is differenced. Therefore, factors that affect to treatment should be explored to plan for taking care patients in the future. OBJECTIVES: The study aimed to examine the effects of cataract surgery by phaco- emulsification on intraocular pressure and to determine the factors associated with intraocular pressure among primary angle closure glaucoma patients.
To collect measurements of a new tonometer and show conformance to standards for tonometers.
Prospective non-randomised cohort study enrolling patients with exfoliation glaucoma. All patients were ophthalmological examined at inclusion. Blood samples were taken for genetic analysis.
In conclusion, the study shows that the hospital-based group had a significantly higher screening uptake than the community-based group, reflecting that information from ophthalmologists and registered ophthalmic nurses is more effective and well-received than that from village health volunteers. The study suggests that increasing education and support for village health volunteers could enhance screening uptake. Factors influencing uptake include the age of FDRs, place of residence, education, presenting VA of probands, and treatment of probands. Utilizing this study's findings, spreading knowledge and training health officials at the district and sub-district levels could increase understanding of glaucoma and improve communication with the general public and at-risk groups, potentially increasing the response rate. Additionally, implementing a national free screening glaucoma program for at-risk populations, both in and outside hospitals, and organizing mobile screening units at the district level could be an effective prevention strategy against permanent vision loss from glaucoma.
The goal of this observational study is to discuss the correlation between primary angle-closure glaucoma and the state of the suspended ligament of the lens and the pathogenesis of PACG by measuring the biological data of primary angle-closure glaucoma and observing its anatomical changes.
A single center randomized controlled trial on managing dry eye signs and symptoms in patients using anti-glaucoma eye drops.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test in patients with glaucoma and elevated pressure in the eye. The main questions it aims to answer are: • ability to lower pressure in the eye • safety in the eye and the body of patients with elevated pressure in the eye. Patients will be randomly given either: - 0.5% (5 mg/mL) SBI-100 Ophthalmic Emulsion - 1.0% (10 mg/mL) SBI-100 Ophthalmic Emulsion - Placebo Ophthalmic Emulsion Patients will be tested before starting and will have one drop of the product placed into each eye twice a day for 14 days, by the site and by the patient. At the end of the study, researchers will compare the groups to see if there is a change from before use of SBI-100 Ophthalmic Emulsion to the end of study.
The goal of this observational study is to examine the anterior segment anatomical parameters associated with the scleral spur and cornea for risk profiling of primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG). The main question it aims to answer is: • Are there new anatomical parameters of the anterior segment of the eye that can be used early for risk profiling for PACG? Researchers will compare PACG and narrow angle groups to see if there are some anatomical parameters that can distinguish the two.
As ab externo metal probe trabeculotomy cannot achieve 360-degree circumferential angle surgery, prolene suture can be used to achieve this without the need for an illuminated microcatheter. In order to combine the advantages of the use of viscoelastic and those of circumferential trabeculotomy, this technique (Visco-Circumferential-Suture- Trabeculotomy "VCST") was previously used successfully in PCG. (7) In the current study , the authors hypothesize that combination of VCST with phacoemulsification in primary angle closure glaucoma patients may have an added affect to phacoemulsification alone in cases with more extent of angle damage and that the injection of a viscoelastic into both ends of the unroofed SC before its cannulation by a polypropylene suture and subsequent circumferential trabeculotomy may facilitate circumferential cannulation of SC and hence the trabeculotomy and increase the success of the technique
