Description
Summary:Glaucoma is the second blindness disease in the world, and there are more primary angle closed glaucoma in China. The anatomy changes of the anterior chamber have close relationships with the development of glaucoma. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography(AS-OCT)has the advantages of fast, non-contact, high resolution and accurate quantitative measurement, which provides a kind of important method for finding the pathogenesis of primary angle closed glaucoma, for early diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma, and for the postoperative evaluation of glaucoma.
