Factors Affecting Plastic Lamina Cribrosa Displacement in Glaucoma Patients [Glaucoma]

Conclusions.
The anterior LC surface is more deeply located in glaucoma patients compared with healthy controls. In glaucoma patients, age, initial IOP, and RNFL thickness were influential factors related to LC depth. These factors should be considered in clinical application of plastic LC displacement in glaucoma patients.
