Dynamic changes of anterior segment in patients with different stages of primary angle-closure in both eyes and normal subjects.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To compare changes in anterior segment parameters under light and dark (light-to-dark) conditions among eyes with chronic primary angle-closure glaucoma (CPACG), fellow eyes with confirmed or suspect primary angle-closure (PAC or PACS), and age-matched healthy eyes.

Methods

Consecutive patients with CPACG in one eye and PAC/PACS in the fellow eye, as well as age-matched healthy subjects were recruited. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography measurements were conducted under light and dark conditions, and anterior chamber, lens, and iris parameters compared. Demographic and biometric factors associated with light-to-dark change in iris area were analyzed by linear regression.

Results

Fifty-seven patients (mean age 59.6±8.9 years) and 30 normal subjects m
