Clinical Poster SessionsResults: The Glaucoma database has been developed to store and maintain the SNP, mutationinformation relating to this disease. The database currently contains more than 500 entries andis available at http:bicmku.in:8081/glaucoma97Conclusions: The database is used to know about various SNPs and mutations involved inthe candidate and associate genes related to glaucoma from different population studies.ICP 013Comparison of Different Techniques of Anterior Chamber Depth and KeratometricMeasurementMukesh Kumar, Anjula Kumari, Sujata DasL V Prasad Eye Institute, Bhubaneswar, Orissa, India.Purpose: To compare measurements of anterior chamber depth (ACD) and corneal curvatureobtained with the IOL Master to those with Ultrasound A-Scan and Manual Keratometry(Bausch & Lomb) respectively.Methods: Measurements of ACD and corneal curvature were prospectively obtained in 70eyes of 35 patients with the IOL Master and compared with those of Ultrasound A-Scan andManual Keratometry (Bausch & Lomb) at L V Prasad Eye Institute, Bhubaneswar, India.Results: The mean ACD was 3.205±0.382 and 3.165±0.385 mm in Ultrasound A-Scan and IOLMaster respectively (p=0.951). The mean corneal curvature was 44.489±1.497and 44.514±1.452D in Manual Keratometry and IOL Master respectively (p=0.718). For measurement of ACD,95% limits of agreement were -0.78 to 0.86 mm for the Ultrasound A-Scan and IOL Master. Formeasurement of corneal curvature, 95% limits of agreement were -1.8 to 1.7 D for the ManualKeratometry and IOL Master.Conclusions: Measurements of ACD and corneal curvature with the tested machine do notdiffer significantly and therefore may be used interchangeably.ICP 014Long term visual outcome and recurrence of acute posterior multifocal placoidpigmented epitheliopathy (APMPPE)Kumar Sambhav, Atul Kumar Sahu, Annie MathaiL V Prasad Eye Institute, Hyderabad, India.Purpose: To analyse the visual outcome and recurrence of patients with APMPPE.Methods: Retrospective consecutive case series of patients with APMPPE at a tertiary eyecare centre with minimum follow up of 6 months.Results: Thirty one patients (36 eyes) out of 83 met the inclusion criteria. Twenty patients weretreated with systemic steroids while 11 were observed. Both the groups were matched for ageand duration of illness. Visual acuity score in both the groups had non parametric distribution.
