| dc.description.abstract | Background : Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in the world. A family
history of glaucoma places a person at a much greater risk of developing glaucoma.
Aim : To analyze the differences in axial length, lens thickness, and anterior chamber
depth in patient with a history of primary glaucoma and without a history of primary
glaucoma in the family.
Method : This research is an analytic observational with a case control design. A total of
25 family subjects with a history of primary open-angle glaucoma, 25 family subjects with
a history of primary angle-closure glaucoma of at least 25 people, and 25 people without
a history of primary glaucoma served as controls. The examination is carried out using
biometry.
Results : There was no significant differences in axial length between groups of families
with a history of POAG and controls (p=0.526). There was no significant difference in lens
thickness between the POAG and control groups (p=0.410). There was no significant
difference in anterior chamber depth between the POAG and control groups (p=0.091).
There was a significant difference in CDR between the POAG and control groups
(p<0.001). There was a significant difference in axial length between the PACG and
control groups (p<0.001). There was no significant difference in lens thickness between
the PACG and control groups (p=0.407). There was a significant difference in anterior
chamber depth between the PACG and control groups (p<0.001). There was a significant
difference in CDR between the POAG and control groups (p<0.001).
Conclusion : There were no significant differences in axial length, lens thickness, and
anterior chamber depth between families with a history of POAG and controls. There
was a significant difference between the axial length and depth of the anterior chamber
between families with a history of PACG and controls, but there was no significant
differences in lens thickness between families with a history of PACG and controls. | en_US |
