Purpose. To investigate the biometric characteristics of Chinese patients with a history of acute angle closure (AAC). Methods. In this clinic-based, retrospective, observational, cross-sectional study, biometric parameters of eyes were acquired from a general population of Chinese adults. The crowding value (defined as lens thickness (LT); central corneal thickness (CCT); anterior chamber depth (ACD)/axial length (AL)) was calculated for each patient. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors for AAC. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted, and biometric variables were compared to compile a risk assessment for AAC. Result. This study included 1500 healthy subjects (2624 eyes, mean age of 66.54 ± 15.82 years) and 107 subjects with AAC (202 eyes, mean age of 70.01 ± 11.05 years). Eyes with AAC had thicker lens (P≤0.001), shallower anterior chamber depth (P≤0.001), and shorter axial length (P≤0.001) than healthy eyes. Logistic regression analysis and ROC curve analysis indicated that a crowding value above 0.13 was a significant (P<0.05) risk factor for the development of AAC. Conclusions. Biometric parameters were significantly different between the eyes from the AAC group to the normal group. Ocular crowding value might be a new noncontact screening method to assess the risk of AAC in adults.

Acute Angle Closure

Abstract Background : To compare the anterior biometricsof eyes with secondary acute angle closure induced by occult lens subluxation (ASAC-LS), which were misdiagnosed at the first visit withacute primary angle closure (APAC), chronic primary angle closure glaucoma (CPACG), or cataracts. Methods: This retrospective case series ncluded 17 eyes with angle closure due to occult LS which were misdiagnosed with APAC at the first visit, 56 APACeyes, 54 CPACGeyes, and 56 cataracteyes. The axial length (AL), central corneal thickness (CCT), anterior chamber depth (ACD), aqueous depth (AD), and lens thickness (LT) were recorded. The lens position (LP), relative lens position (RLP), and corrected lens position (CLP) were calculated. Quantitative data were subject to a one-way analysis of variance and correlation analysis. Categorical data were analysed using the chi-squared test. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to obtain a suitable cut-off value for ocular biometrics. Results: The ASAC-LSpatients had a longer ocular AL than the APACand CPACGpatients. The CCTinthe ASAC-LS patientsdid not significantly differ from that in the APAC patientsbut did significantly differ from that of the CPACG and cataract patients.The APAC patientshad the smallest ACD, while the ASAC-LS patientshad the smallest AD. The ASAC-LS patientshad the thickest lenses. According to the ROC curve analysis, the RLP, ACD, AD, CLP, and LP hada high power of discrimination. Conclusions: This study revealed that ASAC-LS patients had a shallower AD and thicker CCT compared to APAC, CPACG, and cataract patients. Biometric parameters ACD, ADwere characteristic of lens subluxation according to our data. The calculated parameters RLP,CLP, LP can be helpful in the differential diagnosis between ASAC-LSand APAC, CPACG, Cataract. Trial registration: NCT03752710, retrospectively registered.

Abstract Background: To compare the anterior biometry of eyes with secondary acute angle closure induced by occult lens subluxation (LS), misdiagnosed as acute primary angle closure (APAC) at the first visit, APAC, chronic primary angle closure glaucoma (CPACG), cataract. Methods: This retrospective case study included 17 eyes with PAC due to occult LS, who were misdiagnosed as APAC on their first visit, 56 eyes diagnosed as APAC, 54 eyes diagnosed as CPACG, and 56 eyes diagnosed as cataract. Axial length (AL), Central corneal thickness (CCT), anterior chamber depth (ACD) and lens thickness (LT) were recorded. Lens position (LP), relative lens position (RLP), corrected lens position (CLP) were calculated. Quantitative data were subject to one-way analysis of variance and correlation analysis. Categorical data were analyzed using the chi-squared test. Results: The patients in the LS group had a longer ocular axial length than those with acute angle closure and CPACG. Corneal thickness in the LS group was not significantly different from that in the APAC group, but was significantly different from those of the CPACG and cataract group. The APAC group had the smallest ACD, while the LS group had the smallest AD. The LS group exhibited significantly shallower ACD (P<0.01). The LS group had the largest lens thickness. Conclusions: This study revealed that LS secondary PAC patients had a shallower ACD, thicker CCT and lens thickness comparing to those of APAC, CPACG and cataract patients. A short depth (< 1.25 mm) and a thick lens thickness (> 5.13 mm) are crisis of lens subluxation in our data. LP and CLP can be helpful for differential diagnosis.

The management of acute angle closure combined with an extremely shallow anterior chamber and cataract remains complex. This study evaluated a technique of vitreous needle aspiration combined with phacoemulsification for the treatment of acute angle closure with continuous high intraocular pressure (IOP). We retrospectively reviewed the results of vitreous needle aspiration combined with phacoemulsification in 17 eyes (17 patients) with acute angle closure with continuous high IOP and coexisting visually significant cataracts between September 2018 and April 2020 at the glaucoma unit of the affiliated Changshu Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University. The main outcomes were the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), IOP, anterior chamber depth (ACD), angle open distance 500 (AOD500), number of antiglaucoma medications, and surgery-associated complications. There were no complications during phacoemulsification and a foldable acrylic intraocular lens was implanted in the capsular bag in all 17 patients. For all patients, vitreous needle aspiration was successful at the first attempt. The BCVA improved from 2.02 ± 0.54 logMAR preoperatively to 0.73 ± 0.57 logMAR postoperatively at the final examination ( p < 0.001 ). The mean IOP was 54.47 ± 5.33 mmHg preoperatively and 15.59 ± 2.35 mmHg at the final examination ( p < 0.001 ) without any medication. The ACD was 1.70 ± 0.16 mm preoperatively and 3.35 ± 1.51 mm at the final examination ( p < 0.001 ). The AOD500 was 0.07 ± 0.02 mm preoperatively and 0.51 ± 0.04 mm at the final examination ( p < 0.001 ). Our vitreous needle aspiration technique can be performed safely in phacoemulsification for the management of acute angle closure with continuous high IOP.

Abstract Objective: To observe the safety and efficacy of a surgical technique of 25-gauge anterior vitrectomy via scleral flap in phacoemulsification combined with trabeculectomy for glaucoma and cataract with extremely shallow anterior chamber.Methods: This was a retrospective study composed with 18 eyes of 18 patinets（8 males and 10 females）, including 11 eyes with acute angle closure glaucoma, 8 eyes with lens subluxation combined with glaucoma. All patients underwent phacoemulsification, intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, trabeculectomy, and anterior vitrectomy via the scleral flap in cases where conservative managements cannot control intraocular pressure (IOP). The main outcomes were best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), anterior chamber depth (ACD), IOP, slit lamp microscopic examinations, medications, fundus examinations and complications.Results: The average axial length (AL) was 21.5 ± 0.6 mm (range: 20.0 to 23.2 mm). Mean age was 62.3 ± 7.9 years old (range: 46 to 73 years). Mean ACD increased statistically significant from 0.78 ± 0.43 mm to 2.89 ± 0.41 mm 1 week after surgery (P<0.001). Mean IOP decreased significantly from 43.28 ± 9.38 mmHg to 16.72 ± 6.28 mmHg (P<0.001). There were no serious complications occurred, such as endophthalmitis, retinal detachment, suprachoroidal hemorrhage, corneal decompensation and malignant glaucoma.Conclusions: 25-Gauge anterior vitrectomy via the scleral flap was a safe and effective technology in glaucoma combined with cataract with extremely shallow anterior chamber.
