AS-OCT Evaluation of Iridocorneal Angle of Patients of Angle Closure Glaucoma After Phacoemulsification

Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography Evaluation of Iridocorneal Angle of Patients of Angle Closure Glaucoma After Phacoemulsification and YAG Laser Iridotomy, Comparative Study

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

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.

.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients fit for phacoemulsification

Exclusion Criteria:

• 1- Patients with history of any intraocular surgery. 2- Patients with history of refractive surgery. 3- Patients with diabetic retinal vasculopathy or retinal detachment. 4- Patients with chronic angle closure glaucoma, open angle glaucoma or 2ry glaucoma
