Comparative study of ocular biometry in primary angle closure suspect, primary angle closure glaucoma and normal subjects
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Biometric studies of the ocular dimensions in eyes with narrow anterior chamber angles provide insight into the pathophysiology of pupillary block and may show which eyes are more prone to develop angle closure glaucoma. Aim of this study was to compare ocular biometric values in eyes of patients with primary angle closure suspect, primary angle closure glaucoma and normal subjects.
