Appositional Angle Closure in Chinese With Primary Angle Closure and Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma After Laser Peripheral Iridotomy [Glaucoma]
Conclusions.
Approximately two-thirds of PAC and PACG eyes of Chinese patients after LPI had AAC. Plateau iris accounted for less than 50% of AAC. Other factors such as a thick peripheral iris and an anteriorly inserted iris also contributed to AAC. DRPT results suggested AAC might have more functional meaning than plateau iris.
