The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in anterior segment anatomy and\n          intraocular pressure after cataract surgery in non-glaucomatous eyes.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Methods and Material This retrospective case series study included 64 eyes of 64 consecutive patients who underwent phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation. Anterior\n          segment parameters and intraocular pressure were assessed and compared before and 6 months after surgery. Anterior segment imaging was performed using Casia SS-1000 anterior segment optical\n          coherence tomography (Tomey, Nagoya, Japan). Anterior segment measurements included anterior chamber depth, anterior chamber width, anterior chamber volume, angle opening distance at 500\u2009\u00b5m\n          anterior to the scleral spur, angle recess area 750\u2009\u00b5m from the scleral spur, lens vault, trabecular iris space area at 500\u2009\u00b5m from the scleral spur, and trabecular iris angle at 500\u2009\u00b5m from\n          the scleral spur. Intraocular pressure was measured using the Goldmann applanation tonometer (Model AT 900 C\/M, Haag-Streit, Bern, Switzerland). Anterior segment parameters and the\n          relationship of changes in intraocular pressure were also evaluated.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results All anterior segment parameters increased significantly after surgery (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Both angle opening distance at 500\u2009\u00b5m anterior to the scleral spur and anterior chamber\n          depth changes were positively correlated with the preoperative lens vault. The mean intraocular pressure significantly decreased from 14.91\u2009mmHg (\u00b1\u20092.8\u2009SD) to 12.91\u2009mmHg (\u00b1\u20093.13\u2009SD)\n          (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Changes in intraocular pressure correlated negatively with values for the width of the preoperative anterior chamber (r\u2009=\u2009\u2212\u20090.533; p\u2009=\u20090.001).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion Cataract surgery led to significant widening of the anterior chamber angle and lowering of intraocular pressure. Further investigations are needed to better understand\n          whether anterior chamber width may be a new independent predictive factor for reduction in postoperative intraocular pressure.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2013-2374","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,25]],"date-time":"2023-04-25T22:42:48Z","timestamp":1682462568000},"page":"449-455","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Changes in Anterior Segment Morphology and Intraocular Pressure after Cataract Surgery in Non-glaucomatous Eyes"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"240","author":[{"given":"Rosa","family":"Giglio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Eye Clinic, Department of Medicine, Surgery and Health Sciences, University of Trieste, Trieste, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Leandro","family":"Inferrera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Eye Clinic, Department of Medicine, Surgery and Health Sciences, University of Trieste, Trieste, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chiara","family":"De Giacinto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Eye Clinic, Department of Medicine, Surgery and Health Sciences, University of Trieste, Trieste, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rossella","family":"D\u02bcAloisio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ophthalmology Clinic, Department of Medicine and Science of Ageing, University \u201cG.
