This study found the I>S>T rim width pattern, not ISNT, best detects glaucoma in Japanese patients. This specific pattern improves glaucoma screening and correlates with known risk factors in this population.

Van Herick grading (VH) was studied against UBM for angle closure and plateau iris. VH ≤2 significantly correlated with UBM angle width and ciliary body configuration, suggesting its utility for screening these conditions.

This study found pseudoexfoliation (PEX) and PEX glaucoma in a rural Japanese population, linking PEX to older age and outdoor work, but not significantly affecting intraocular pressure.

This study found that in normal eyes, higher IOP, longer axial length, thinner CCT, lower blood pressure, and male gender correlated with smaller optic disc rim area, highlighting new potential glaucoma risk indicators.

Trabeculotomy ab interno successfully lowered IOP in two secondary glaucoma cases with scleromalacia, avoiding external incisions and worsening scleritis, showing promise for this complex condition.

This study found primary angle-closure glaucoma is highly prevalent (2.2%) in rural Japan, significantly exceeding urban rates, highlighting regional differences in this blinding condition.

This study found that in healthy Japanese eyes, larger optic cup/disc ratios and thinner rim widths correlated with age, disc size, higher IOP, lower ocular perfusion pressure, and thinner corneas, suggesting these parameters indicate glaucoma vulnerability.

This study used UBM to compare peripheral anterior chamber configurations in primary angle closure/suspects versus open angles. Key finding: PAC/suspects have shallower anterior chambers, and specific UBM parameters under light are excellent diagnostic differentiators.

This UBM study characterized anterior ocular segment dimensions, finding age, gender, refraction, and IOP significantly correlate with peripheral anterior chamber depth, ciliary body position, and iris thickness, informing glaucoma risk.

This Japanese study found intraocular pressure (IOP) correlated with younger age, higher BMI, blood pressure, diabetes, and specific corneal/ocular biometric factors, helping identify those at risk for elevated IOP.

This study found average corneal endothelial cell density in normal Japanese adults was 2943 cells/mm², decreasing with age, higher IOP, male sex, and outdoor work, informing corneal health assessment.

This study found uveal effusion is common in acute angle-closure glaucoma (58%) and more prevalent in chronic angle-closure (14%) than open-angle glaucoma (1.3%), correlating with shallower anterior chambers.

Subclinical ciliochoroidal effusion frequently occurs after prophylactic laser iridotomy, particularly with argon laser, but resolves spontaneously, suggesting a temporary, benign post-procedure effect.
