Genetic heritability of a shallow anterior chamber in Chinese families with primary angle closure glaucoma.

29 Nov 2008 PURPOSE: To explore the genetic heritability of a shallow anterior chamber (AC) in families with primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) and to provide a theoretical basis for the identification of candidate genes responsible for PACG. METHODS: ... Read more...

Preventive effect against post-cataract endophthalmitis: drug delivery intraocular lens versus intracameral antibiotics.

29 Sep 2008 PURPOSE: To compare hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs) as an antibiotic drug-delivery system with intracameral antibiotic administration in terms of the ability to prevent endophthalmitis. METHODS: Antibiotic solutions of 0.3% (3 mg/ml) ... Read more...

Evaluation of the safety of prophylactic intracameral moxifloxacin in cataract surgery.

30 Aug 2008 PURPOSE: To evaluate posterior and anterior segment safety of an intracameral injection of moxifloxacin 0.5% ophthalmic solution as prophylaxis for endophthalmitis in patients having cataract surgery. SETTING: Three private practices, the ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Anterior Chamber'

Definition: The space in the eye, filled with aqueous humor, bounded anteriorly by the cornea and a small portion of the sclera and posteriorly by a small portion of the ciliary body, the iris, and that part of the crystalline lens which presents through the pupil. (Cline et al., Dictionary of Visual Science, 4th ed, p109)

Descriptor UI: D000867

Alternative terms: Anterior Chamber; Anterior Chambers; Chamber, Anterior; Chambers, Anterior;

Allowable Qualifiers: abnormalities; anatomy & histology; blood supply; cytology; drug effects; embryology; enzymology; growth & development; immunology; injuries; innervation; metabolism; microbiology; parasitology; pathology; physiology; physiopathology; radiation effects; radiography; radionuclide imaging; secretion; surgery; transplantation; ultrastructure; ultrasonography; chemistry; virology;

Tree Number: A09.371.060.067;

History Note: 66(64); was see under AQUEOUS HUMOR 1963-65

Technical Notes: the space between the cornea & lens which contains the aqueous humor; do not confuse with ANTERIOR EYE SEGMENT; hemorrhage within anterior chamber = HYPHEMA; anterior chamber endothelium = ENDOTHELIUM, ANTERIOR CHAMBER see ENDOTHELIUM, CORNEAL
