Abstract

Purpose: Predicting the outcome of laser peripheral iridotomy for primary angle closure suspect eyes using anterior segment optical coherence tomography. Methods: Cross-sectional study. The study was done from June 2023 to December 2023 at HCMC Eye Hospital. A total of 66 eyes of 34 study participants were diagnosed with suspected primary angle closure, of which 32 had 2 eyes and 2 had 1 eye and had anterior optical coherence tomography and periorbital iridectomy performed. laser border. Patients were examined and epidemiological parameters were recorded including age, gender, visual acuity, intraocular pressure, central corneal thickness, cup/disc ratio and anterior chamber angle parameters. Results: The average age was 55.68 ±7.6 years. The male: female ratio is 1:10.5 respectively. Visual acuity in the group ≥ 3/10 accounts for 89.39%. The average intraocular pressure was 15.09 ± 3.05. Central corneal thickness has an average value of 537.85 ± 29.42. The average cup/disc ratio is 0.37 ± 0.20. The anterior chamber angle parameters AOD500, AOD750, TISA500, TISA750, ACD all increased while IT500, IT750, IC, IC ratio and LV tended to decrease and these changes were all statistically significant. The parameters AOD500, AOD750, TISA750, LV, ACD are meaningful in predicting the successful results of laser peripheral iridectomy. The algorithm predicted the success of LPI with 87,90 % cross validation accuracy. Conclusion: Patients in the study had age, male: female ratio, visual acuity, intraocular pressure value and cup/disc ratio consistent with the definition of suspected primary angle closure. Patients need to be examined and detected, and have optical coherence tomography of the anterior segment performed to have more information to choose appropriate treatment methods to prevent acute angle closure attacks and prevent progression of primary angle closure.
