Anterior chamber depth (ACD) change after pupillary dilation is correlated with lens vault (LV) and anterior chamber width (ACW), as observed by swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) at both horizontal and vertical scans in patients with primary angle closure suspect and cataract.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the association between ACD and other anterior chamber parameters after pharmacological dilation in patients with primary angle closure suspect and cataract.SS-OCT was performed for 78 patients at baseline and 1 hour after pharmacological dilation. Measurements were taken at 8 evenly spaced axes at 250, 500, and 750 μm from the scleral spur. Pearson correlation coefficient (ρ) was used to evaluate the relationship between averaged ACD change and other SS-OCT parameters. Multivariable regression analyses were performed to determine the parameters that predict ACD change.Across all 14 dimension and angle parameters, 12 parameters at the 270-degree axis and 10 parameters at the 0-degree axis yielded significant correlations with ACD change (ρ=0.24-0.55, P0.05). Angle parameters were most significantly correlated to ACD change 750 µm from the scleral spur. The prediction model for ACD change after pharmacological dilation at 0 degree included decreased LV, wider ACW, and increased trabecular iris space area (all P ≤0.001). The prediction model for ACD change at 270 degrees included: decreased LV, wider ACW, larger change in anterior chamber volume, larger baseline anterior chamber volume, and smaller baseline angle opening distance (all P ≤0.03).LV and ACW, as measured in both vertical and horizontal scans, were found to be determinants of the ACD change after pharmacological pupillary dilation. Examination of these parameters may help identify patients at higher risk of developing angle-closure disease. |
