Relationship Between Iris Surface Features and Angle Width in Asian Eyes [Glaucoma]

Conclusions.
Iris surface features, assessed and measured from slit-lamp photographs, correlated well with anterior chamber angle width; irises with more crypts and lighter color were associated with wider angle. These findings may provide another imaging modality to assess angle closure risk based on iris surface features.
