Increased Risk

Important physiological feature of the anatomically «short» eye is the disproportionately large volume of the lens relative to the volume of the eye. A gradual and continuous increase in the volume of the lens contributes to the anterior displacement of the irido-lenticular diaphragm, causing the functional block of the anterior chamber angle. This leads to persistent disorders of the hydrodynamics of the eye, up to the development of an acute attack of angle-closure glaucoma. Purpose. To study incidence of increased risk formation of primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) and its acute attack in young patients with moderate and high hyperopia (Hm). Material and methods. Clinical material was presented by 58 patients (116 eyes) with indicators of axial length of the eyes less than 23 mm. The main group consisted of 33 patients (66 eyes) with moderate and high Hm. The comparison group was represented by 25 patients (50 eyes) with PACG. Results. The study made it possible to identify group of increased risk of the formation of PACG, which included 19 people (58%), from selected general population of young patients with moderate and high Hm. Conclusion. Comparative analysis of morphometric parameters of structures of the anterior segment of the anatomically «short» eyes in young patients with moderate and high Hm, on the one hand, and in patients with PACG, on the other, revealed statistically significant differences between them in the anterior chamber depth in the central zone, the thickness of the lens, the anterior chamber volume, the peripheral anterior chamber depth, of the anterior chamber angle. Key words: primary angle-closure glaucoma, acute attack of angle-closure glaucoma, hyperopia, refractive surgery.
