Risk factors for glaucoma in nanophthalmos - a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Nanophthalmos, a rare ocular condition characterized by small but structurally normal eyes, presents a high risk for developing angle-closure glaucoma and related complications. Accurate estimation of glaucoma prevalence and identification of predictive risk factors are essential for guiding early diagnosis and tailored interventions in this anatomically vulnerable population. Therefore, the current systematic review and meta-analysis synthesizes existing evidence on the associated clinical and biometric risk factors for glaucoma in nanophthalmic eyes.

Methods

Following PRISMA guidelines, we conducted a comprehensive literature search in PubMed and the Cochrane Library for studies published between January 2000 and December 2023. Eligible studies included investig
