The Use of Oculopressor in Shallow Anterior Chamber Cataract Cases

Aim: To examine the effect of 10 minutes oculopression on the depth of anterior chamber (AC) in cataract patients with shallow AC. Methods: Ten minutes oculopression was applied in 10 eyes with the use of a Honan balloon. AC depth was measured by OcuScan RxP (Alcon, USA) ophthalmic ultrasound, using the non-contact (water-bath) technique. Depth of AC and axial length (Axl) was measured before oculopression, immediately after, and 10 minutes after the removal of oculopression. Results: The average AC depth was 2.318mm (Axl=23.496mm) before the use of oculopression, and it was 2.245mm (Axl=23.455mm) and 3.075mm (A…
