“…Pillunat LE et al 29 studied UBM in pigmentary glaucoma and effect of YAG iridectomy on anterior segment structures and IOP. The results show that irido-zonular contact does not exist in every patient with pigmentary glaucoma.…”

UBM is a high-frequency ultrasound technology that provides exceptionally detailed two-dimensional gray-scale images of the various anterior segment structures and evaluates them both quantitatively and qualitatively. It allows noninvasive in vivo imaging of structural details of the anterior ocular segment at near microscopic resolution and thus, there are many other applications of this new imaging method.This review outlines the uses of UBM in diagnosis and management of glaucoma.

“…In our study, UBM was used to evaluate increased iris concavity and the presence of iridozonular contact upon accomodation in patients with pigment dispersion. Pillunat et al 12 reported that iridozonular contact was not present in every patient with pigmentary glaucoma and observed that intraocular pressure decreased with laser iridotomy only in pigmentary glaucoma cases with iridozonular contact. In our study, it was observed that UBM was frequently used to evaluate glaucoma cases (60.8%).…”

BackgroundGlaucoma is a chronic optic neuropathy characterized by retinal ganglion cell death resulting in damage to the optic nerve head and the retinal nerve fiber layer. Pigment dispersion syndrome is characterized by a structural disturbance in the iris pigment epithelium (the densely pigmented posterior surface of the iris) that leads to dispersion of the pigment and its deposition on various structures within the eye. Pigmentary glaucoma is a specific form of open-angle glaucoma found in patients with pigment dispersion syndrome.Topcial medical therapy is usually the first-line treatment; however, peripheral laser iridotomy has been proposed as an alternate treatment. Peripheral laser iridotomy involves creating an opening in the iris tissue to allow drainage of fluid from the posterior chamber to the anterior chamber and vice versa. Equalizing the pressure within the eye may help to alleviate the friction that leads to pigment dispersion and prevent visual field deterioration. However, the effectiveness of peripheral laser iridotomy in reducing the development or progression of pigmentary glaucoma is unknown. ObjectivesThe objective of this review was to assess the effects of peripheral laser iridotomy compared with other interventions, including medication, trabeculoplasty, and trabeculectomy, or no treatment, for pigment dispersion syndrome and pigmentary glaucoma. Search methodsWe searched a number of electronic databases including CENTRAL, MEDLINE and EMBASE and clinical trials websites such as (mRCT) and ClinicalTrials.gov. We last searched the electronic databases on 2 November 2015. Selection criteriaWe included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that had compared peripheral laser iridotomy versus no treatment or other treatments for pigment dispersion syndrome and pigmentary glaucoma. Data collection and analysisWe used standard methodological procedures for systematic reviews. Two review authors independently screened articles for eligibility, extracted data, and assessed included trials for risk of bias. We did not perform a meta-analysis because of variability in reporting and follow-up intervals for primary and secondary outcomes of interest.
