Primary angle closure glaucoma: What we know and what we don't know.

New treatment strategies like adjusting the psychological status and balancing the sympathetic-parasympathetic nerve activity, and innovative medicines are needed to improve the prognosis of PACG.

Peripapillary retinal vessel density in eyes with acute primary angle closure: an optical coherence tomography angiography study.

Even when IOP was normalized after the acute attack, the APAC eyes had a lower peripapillary retinal vessel density, which was correlated with the VF values.

Vision-related Quality of Life in Glaucoma Patients and its Correlations With Psychological Disturbances and Visual Function Indices.

Deterioration of vision impairment and visual field defects in addition to increased recognition of psychological disturbances reduce the VR-QoL of glaucoma patients significantly.

Evaluation of Corneal Deformation Parameters Provided by the Corvis ST Tonometer After Trabeculectomy.

CST is a good choice for measuring IOP, especially when aiming for normalization of IOP after glaucoma surgery.

Retinal Microcirculatory Responses to Hyperoxia in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma Using Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography.

Retinal microvasculature responds to hyperoxia by reducing RPC perfusion in both healthy participants and patients with POAG. However, this vasoreactivity capacity was significantly impaired in patients with POAG.

Changes of anterior segment parameters in primary angle closure with axial myopia: a retrospective study of 369 patients grouped by axial length.

Outcomes of Filtering Surgery Versus Clear Lens Extraction in Young Patients With Angle-Closure Glaucoma.

This study highlights that the efficacy of clear lens extraction is comparable to that of filtering surgery in medically uncontrolled ACG in young patients, but clear lens extraction is safer, especially for young patients with…

Long-term optic nerve head microvascular impairment after acute primary angle closure: an OCTA study.

Acute primary angle closure leads to long-term peripapillary optic nerve microvascular impairment, even after clinical resolution. This persistent vessel density reduction suggests ongoing risk or damage, highlighting the need for continued monitoring.

Twenty-four-hour pattern of intra-ocular pressure in untreated patients with primary open-angle glaucoma.

There was some regularity in the 24-hr IOP pattern in POAG, but different severities of GON and different subtypes might present different characteristics.

Optical Coherence Tomography Assessment of Angle Anatomy Changes After Trabeculectomy in Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma.

Trabeculectomy results in a significant increase in the angle width in PACG. The increase in angle parameters was significantly related to the IOP changes.

Correlation between optic disc perfusion and glaucomatous severity in patients with open-angle glaucoma: an optical coherence tomography angiography study.

Angiograms demonstrated a reduced disc flow index and vessel density in glaucoma, and this reduction was closely related to GCC thickness.

Anxiety and Depression are More Prevalent in Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma Than in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma.

Significant differences were found between primary glaucoma patients and normal controls in psychiatric questionnaires, whereas the level of anxiety and depression was found to be significantly higher in PACG patients than in POAG patients and…
