The Beijing Angle Closure Progression Study

Angle-Closure Glaucoma

The Beijing angle closure progression study (BAPS) aims to explore the 5-year incidence of PACS progressing to PAC or PACG and to determine the possible risk factors of disease progression, which may provide the evidence for choosing the accurate strategies in the management of PACS.

Research on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Angle Closure Glaucoma With Abnormal Lens Zonular

Angle-Closure Glaucoma

Angle-closure glaucoma is the main type of glaucoma in China, which is divided into acute and chronic angle-closure glaucoma. Previous studies from our group have found that, in lens excision combined with glaucoma surgery, accounted for 46.2% of patients were ligament abnormalities, such as lens subluxation with suspensory ligament relaxation. And it was more common in acute angle-closure glaucoma (55.8%). In acute angle-closure glaucoma, approximately 55.2% of suspensory ligament abnormalities were not diagnosed preoperatively depend on UBM and slit lamp examinations. The purpose of this study was to find a better preoperative diagnosis method of the suspensory ligament abnormality, and to observe the influence of the suspensory ligament abnormality on the occurrence, development and treatment effect of acute angle-closure glaucoma. We plan to collect patients with acute angle-closure glaucoma with monocular onset and exclude traumatic, secondary glaucoma and a history of intraocular surgery. The onset eyes were treated with combined operation, and divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of suspensory ligament abnormalities. The fellow eyes were treated with laser peripheral iridectomy, and followed examination, including UBM, anterior-segment OCT, and IOL master 700, before and after bow excitation test. Then follow up patients every six months. Ultimately, the fellow eyes will be treated with combined surgery after 2.5 years or the fellow eyes occur acute angle-closure glaucoma. In the end, we evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of each index, and the influence of suspensory ligament abnormality on angle-closure glaucoma progression.

Investigating the Genetic Basis of Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome, Angle-closure Glaucoma and Primary...

Glaucoma

There is increasing evidence that there are genetic risk factors for several forms of glaucoma, such as glaucoma caused by pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXF) ,primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). The aim of the present prospective, multi-center, case-control study is to identify susceptibility genes/loci for PXF, PACG and POAG using a whole genome association (WGA) approach.

Macular Pigment Optical Density in Primary Angle-closure Disease

GlaucomaGlaucoma2 more

Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in the world, and primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) is the most important type of glaucoma in Asia. Primary angle closure disease (PACD) is a group of diseases related to PACG, and the pathogenesis is still unclear. Macular pigment has the functions of filtering short-wavelength waves and anti-oxidation, which are related to visual function. Previous studies have found that the macular pigment density (MPOD) is significantly reduced in primary open-angle glaucoma. This project uses the single-wavelength reflection method to measure MPOD, observes the characteristics of PACD and the normal control group's changes in retinal MPOD, and explains the relationship between PACD's MPOD changes and angle-closure glaucoma optic nerve damage

Advanced Glaucoma Progression Study

Primary Open Angle GlaucomaPseudoexfoliative Glaucoma1 more

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness in the world. The key to prevention of visual loss from glaucoma is early detection of the disease or its progression and timely treatment. The proposed study will investigate the role of various tests in improving detection of disease progression in advanced glaucoma. Evaluation of the peripheral field of vision (visual field examination) remains the current standard for detection of progression in glaucoma. However, there is a lot of variability or inconsistency in eyes with advanced glaucoma, which could make it difficult to detect worsening of glaucoma with visual fields. The optic nerve demonstrates significant damage in such eyes and hence oftentimes repeat imaging of the optic nerve head is not helpful for detection of change. Therefore, imaging of the central retina (the innermost sensitive tissue lining the inside of the eye), called macula, has been proposed to supplant imaging of the nerve in eyes with severe glaucoma. The macula aids in detailed central vision. Since the macular retinal neural cells are the last ones to be affected in glaucoma, measurement of macular retinal thickness could provide significant information with regard to the course of glaucoma. In the proposed study, glaucoma patients will be tested and followed with various measurements done with newer versions of optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging and visual field machines. The patients will undergo repeat imaging and visual field testing every 6 months over the course of 5 years. Rates of change will be estimated. We will explore if changes in various outcome measures derived from imaging are correlated with the corresponding visual field changes in glaucoma, and whether the former can be used as an alternative method for detecting simultaneous or subsequent glaucoma progression. The hypothesis for this proposed research is that macular OCT parameters are valid structural measures that can be used especially in advanced disease to follow the course of glaucoma.
