Abstract
In the past decade, the epidemiological study has point out the importance of primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG), because the number of PACG patients and its blindness can not be neglected. The image study of PACG has a long history since 19 century of more than one hundred years. The most important purpose of such study is to early detection and diagnosis of PACG, prior to the severe damage caused by this disorder. PACG has typical eye of smaller than average, therefore, accurate image analysis can be an important tool, especially by recent biotechnological application. Haag-Strait II patchymeter, by Lowe, as well as our study indicated important of anterior chamber depth measurement. A-scan sonography added the crucial oculometry for axial length, and lens thickness. Ultrasound biomicroscope and Scheimpflug video image provide the characteristic chamber angle change and measurement for PACG. In addition they also provide the chamber angle width and the pharmacological relation. Optic disc image study may also be interesting for the characteristic disc change of PACG, useful for the practitioner. In the field of medical, laser, and surgical therapy, image analysis is another important tool.
We may predict the image analysis in glaucoma, especially in PACG is the essential issue in the years to come.
