Anterior Segment Characteristics and Risk Factors for Primary Angle Closure Disease With Long Axial Lengths: The Handan Eye Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate the anterior segment characteristics of primary angle closure disease (PACD) with long axial length (AL) compared with that of those with short and medium AL and explore the risk factors associated with AC with different AL levels.

Methods

This observational cross-sectional study enrolled subjects aged 35 years or older who completed the follow-up examinations of the Handan Eye Study and dichotomized them into normal and PACD groups. Ocular data of the right eye were analyzed. AL was categorized into short (<22.0 mm), medium (22.0-24.0 mm), or long (>24.0 mm) subgroups. Demographic and anterior segment parameters of PACD subjects were compared between the three AL subgroups. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the risk factors for PA
