Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To compare Schlemm canal (SC) and trabecular meshwork (TM) in children with healthy eyes and those with and without glaucoma after lensectomy. DESIGN: Cross-sectional observational study. PARTICIPANTS: Fifty children age 4 to 16 years with healthy eyes and 48 children post lensectomy (124 healthy and 72 post-lensectomy eyes). METHODS: /Interventions: Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT, Tomey Casia) of the nasal iridocorneal angle, at two levels of accommodative effort (2.5D, 15D). For each parameter and state of accommodation, a random-effects model was fitted to estimate differences between healthy eyes and eyes with history of lensectomy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Dimensions of SC and TM; conventional AS-OCT irido-corneal angle (ICA) measurements. RESULTS: The horizontal diameter of SC and its cross-sectional area (SC-CSA) are significantly smaller in post-lensectomy than in healthy eyes. Accommodative effort increases SC size in healthy, but not in post-lensectomy eyes. CONCLUSIONS: Lensectomy is associated with a reduction in SC size and a loss of physiological SC dilatation during accommodative effort, which may reflect a reduction in outflow facility and contribute to the development of post-lensectomy glaucoma.
