Optical coherence tomography analysis of anterior segment parameters before and after laser peripheral iridotomy in primary angle-closure suspects by using CASIA2

Abstract Background Laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) is effective in primary angle-closure suspects (PACS); however, predictors for anterior segment alterations after LPI are limited. We aimed to evaluate the anterior segment biometric parameters before and after LPI in PACS using the recently devel...

description Abstract Background Laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) is effective in primary angle-closure suspects (PACS); however, predictors for anterior segment alterations after LPI are limited. We aimed to evaluate the anterior segment biometric parameters before and after LPI in PACS using the recently developed, CASIA 2 device of anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). Methods We performed LPI in 52 PACS. Anterior segment parameters, including anterior chamber depth (ACD), anterior chamber width (ACW), anterior chamber volume (ACV), iris curvature (ICURVE), iridotrabecular contact (ITC), lens vault (LV), lens thickness (LT), radius of the lens, angle opening distance (AOD), angle recess area (ARA), trabecular iris space area (TISA), and trabecular iris angle (TIA) at different distances (i.e., 500 μm from the sclera spur), were evaluated before and after LPI using CASIA 2. Results Eyes of PACS after LPI had a greater ACV, AOD, ARA, TISA, and TIA, and a lower ITC and ICURVE (all p < 0.001) than those before LPI. On a 360° scan, the anterior chamber angle in the superior quadrant increased the most after the LPI. A higher baseline LT was significantly associated with a greater postoperative increase in AOD 500, ARA 500, TISA 500, and TIA 500 (p = 0.001, p = 0.010, p = 0.004, and p < 0.001, respectively). Conclusions We found that LPI widens the anterior chamber angle in the PACS, especially, in the superior quadrant around the iridotomy hole. Eyes with a thicker lens are more likely to experience angle opening because of the LPI.
