Refractive Error and Anterior Chamber Depth as Risk Factors in Primary Angle Closure Disease: The Chinese American Eye Study.

ABSTRACT:

Prcis

The risk of primary angle closure disease (PACD) rises rapidly with greater hyperopia while remaining relatively low for all degrees of myopia. Refractive error (RE) is useful for angle closure risk stratification in the absence of biometric data.

Purpose

To assess the role of RE and anterior chamber depth (ACD) as risk factors in PACD.

Methods

Chinese American Eye Study participants received complete eye examinations including refraction, gonioscopy, amplitude-scan biometry, and anterior segment ocular coherence tomography imaging. PACD included primary angle closure suspect (≥3 quadrants of angle closure on gonioscopy) and primary angle closure/primary angle closure glaucoma (peripheral anterior synechiae or intraocular pressure >21 mm Hg).
