Popis: PURPOSE To evaluate association of the van Herick (VH) grades with the ultrasound biomicroscopic (UBM) parameters, appositional irido-trabecular contact (A-ITC) and plateau iris (PI) in a randomly sampled population. METHODS A 10% random sample of all residents aged 40 or older of the Kumejima study underwent UBM under dark and light conditions in the four quadrants of right eyes. RESULTS Of 301 right eyes with eligible UBM images, 101 (33.6%) and 200 (66.4%) were classified as VH ≤ 2 and VH ≥ 3, respectively. The UBM parameters on angle width and ciliary body configuration were significantly different between VH ≤ 2 and VH ≥ 3 eyes (p
