Summary
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.
Description
1.Inclusion criteria:
(1)age: 45-79 years old, BCVA>0.3, 19mm<axial length<24mm. (2).Continuous cases diagnose with angle-closure glaucoma in Beijing Tongren Hospital from January 1st, 2022 to December 31th, 2023 and undergo phacoemulsification lens extraction combined with intraocular lens implantation combined with anterior chamber angle separation will be included in the case group. (3). The patients who are diagnosed age-related cataract and undergo phacoemulsification lens extraction combined with intraocular lens implantation at the same time in Beijing Tongren Hospital will be included as control group. (4). All the surgeries were finished by the same two experienced ophthalmologists. (5). Both eyes will be undergo with surgery, and we will include the first eye for observation.
2.Exclusion critieria:
(1)Age-related cataract patients whose anterior chamber depth (ACD)<2.5mm, 22mm>axial length, or axial length>26mm. (2).Patients who underwent ocular surgery, such as peripheral iridotomy, trabeculectomy. (3). Patients with history of ocular trauma. (4).Patients with other ophthalmic diseases that can cause shallow anterior chamber expect glaucoma and cataract, such as choroid detachment, ciliary body detachment, retinal detachment, bulbar tumor, etc. (5). Secondary glaucoma, such as neovascular glaucoma.
3.Diagnostic critieria:
- angle-closure glaucoma (ACG): a. Both eyes with shallow anterior chamber (ACD<2.5mm). b. With short axial length (axial length<24mm).
- acute angle-closure glaucoma (AACG): a. Both eyes with ACG characteristic anatomical structure, including shallow anterior chamber and short axial length. b.Patients with classic history of acute episode, acute elevated intraocular pressure, and atrioscopy or ultrasound biomicroscope (UBM) examination indicated angle closure. c. Ocular examination showed the characteristic changes of acute ocular hypertension: iris atrophy, dilated pupil, glaucoma spot, and pigmented Kp.
- Diagnostic criteria for lens suspensory ligament abnormalities
- . Pre-operation: a. UBM shows the distance from ciliary processes to the equatorial part of lens varies in different directions. b. ACD are different between the two eyes and/or lens iris septum tremors by slit-lamp examination.
- .Intraoperation: a. Suspensory ligament relaxation: with obvious radial folds on lens anterior capsules during continuous circular capsulorhexis (CCC), and could not observe the equator of lens. b. Rupture of suspensory ligament: could observe the equator of lens after full dilation of the pupil.
