Ocular Biometric Determinants of Anterior Chamber Angle Width in Chinese Americans: The Chinese American Eye Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

We sought to investigate anatomic mechanisms of angle narrowing by assessing ocular biometric determinants of anterior chamber angle width.

Design

Population-based cross-sectional study.

Methods

Subjects ≥50 years of age from the Chinese American Eye Study underwent a comprehensive ocular examination, including anterior segment optical coherence tomography imaging and ultrasound A-scan. Independent variables, including anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens vault (LV), iris curvature (IC), anterior chamber width, lens thickness, vitreous cavity depth, and axial length, and dependent variables, including angle opening distance, were measured in 1 randomly selected eye per subject. Univariable and multivariable regression models with standardized regression coeffici
