Purpose. To quantify changes in anterior segment (AS) parameters after laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) using AS-optical coherence tomography (OCT) of iris bombe. Method. AS images of eight eyes were captured before and after iris bombe and more than 2 weeks after LPI (post-LPI) using AS-OCT. We compared the following AS parameters: anterior chamber depth (ACD), anterior chamber volume (ACV), iris curvature (IC), iris thickness at 500 μm from the scleral spur (IT-1) in the middle between the iris root and pupillary margin (IT-2) and 500 μm from the pupillary margin (IT-3) to the anterior chamber angle (ACA) (angle opening distance [AOD750]), and trabecular iris space area. Results. Mean IT-1 and IT-3, but not IT-2, were lower after iris bombe (IT-1, P=0.001; IT-2, P=0.081; and IT-3, P=0.001). There were no significant differences between ACD at pre-LPI and before iris bombe (P=0.096). The mean ACV and AOD750 of iris bombe increased at post-LPI (ACV, P<0.01, and AOD750, P<0.05). The mean IT-1, IT-2, and IT-3 increased at post-LPI (all, P≤0.01). IC decreased at post-LPI (P<0.001), and ACD at post-LPI did not change. Conclusions. The iris extends and becomes thinner during iris bombe. LPI during bombe decreases the IC and increases the ACV and ACA.

Abstract Background Primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) is the most common type of glaucoma in China. Laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) is the primary choice to treat PAC. We aim to evaluate the changes and to find the biometric indicators of anterior segment parameters before and after laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) in primary angle closure (PAC) eyes using swept-source optical coherent tomography (OCT). Methods LPI was performed in 52 PAC eyes of 28 participants. The change of intraocular pressure and anterior segment parameters, including angle opening distance (AOD500), AOD500 area, trabecular iris space area (TISA500), TISA500 volume, trabecular iris angle (TIA500), iridotrabecular contact (ITC) index, ITC area, anterior chamber volume (ACV), anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens vault (LV) and lens thickness (LT) before and 1 week after LPI were measured by Tomey CASIA2 anterior segment OCT. We also estimate and analyze potential contributing factors possibly affecting the change of anterior chamber angle parameters. Results No post-laser complications were found. The LV and LT did not change significantly 1 week after LPI. AOD500, AOD500 area, TISA500, TISA500 volume, TIA500, ACV and ACD increased significantly after LPI. There was significant decrease in ITC index and ITC area. LT was positively correlated to the change of ITC index (r=0.411, p=0.002) and ITC area (r=0.384, p=0.005). ACD was negatively correlated to the change of ITC index (r=0.292, p=0.036). Conclusions The anterior segment architecture significantly changed after LPI in PAC spectrum eyes. Crystalline lens measurements remained unchanged before and after LPI. AS-OCT can be used to follow anterior chamber parameter changes in PAC spectrum eyes. Pre-treatment LT and ACD affect the therapeutic effect of LPI.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in anterior segment parameters as assessed by ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) after laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) and to propose a prediction equation for the width of the angle after LPI.Design: This was a prospective study.Participants: The participants included 100 subjects with primary angle closure suspect (PACS).Methods: Anterior segment UBM parameters were measured, whereas AOD750 was chosen to indicate the width of the angle associated with gonioscopic angle closure, as found in a prior study.Main Outcome Measures: Angle parameters, iris parameters, anterior chamber parameters and ciliary body parameters.Results: All angle parameters increased after LPI, including the mean angle opening distance at 750 μm (AOD750), mean angle opening distance at 500 μm from the scleral spur (AOD500), mean angle opening distance at 750 μm from the scleral spur (AOD750), and mean angle recess area at 750 μm from the scleral spur (ARA750). Among iris parameters and ciliary body parameters, the iris thickness at 2,000 μm (IT2000), iris curvature (IC), and trabecular-ciliary process distance (ICPD) were reduced after LPI. The final equation consisted of four parameters: anterior chamber depth (ACD), iris thickness at 750 μm from the scleral spur (IT750), AOD750, and lens vault (LV). This equation explained 42.7% of the variability in the angle opening indicator AOD750 after LPI, whereas in the plateau iris configuration subgroup, the accuracy of the prediction equation reached the highest a maximum of 68.6%.Conclusions: There was an increase in angle opening and iris flattening after LPI. An equation involving four angle parameters was constructed, this equation which could explained 42.7% of the variability in the angle opening indicator AOD750 after LPI whereas in the plateau iris configuration subgroup, the accuracy of the prediction equation reached a maximum of 68.6%.
