Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomographic Assessment of Schlemm’s Canal in Chinese Subjects with Primary Open-angle Glaucoma
Purpose:
To evaluate in vivo features of Schlemm's canal (SC) in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and to investigate the relationship of SC size with intraocular pressure (IOP) and glaucoma severity.
Design:
Prospective, comparative study.
Participants:
Fifty Chinese patients with newly diagnosed POAG who had not undergone surgery and 50 normal Chinese subjects from a population-based, cross-sectional study in Shanghai.
Methods:
All participants underwent SD-OCT. The diameter and area of SC were examined in the temporal and nasal sections and measured with customized (Read more...)
