Méthode de dépistage du glaucome chronique par fermeture de l'angle basée sur l'utilisation systématique du GDxVCC et de la gonioscopie photodynamique. Résultats à un an d'une iridotomie systématique

Our study shows frequent chronic angle closure in our European population even with deep anterior chambers. Absence of a Van Herick sign does not rule out angle closure at night. A photodynamic gonioscopy with the Goldmann three-lens mirror (to avoid unintentional indentation with the small diameter lenses in these normotensive eyes) should be performed in a darkened room. LPI is an effective one-step treatment of the underlying cause, that is particularly beneficial if performed early.
