Lens factor as an underlying mechanism in primary angle closure with gonioscopically-visualized ciliary body processes
Japanese journal of ophthalmology(2023)
摘要
Purpose To compare the differences in anterior segment parameters between eyes with primary angle closure (PAC) with and without gonioscopically-visualized ciliary body processes (CBP). Study design Prospective, observational, comparative clinical study. Methods Detailed ocular examinations and gonioscopy were performed in 89 eyes of 89 patients with PAC to determine the visibility of the CBP. Anterior chamber depth (ACD), anterior chamber width, lens thickness (LT), lens vault (LV) and pupil diameter were determined using ultrasound biomicroscopy. The lens–axial length factor (LAF) and relative lens position (RLP) were calculated. All parameters were compared between eyes with and without gonioscopically visible CBP (PAC+CBP and PAC−CBP groups) after adjusting for age and gender. The association of the parameters with visible CBP was analyzed by univariate logistic regression analysis. Results PAC+CBP group included 41 eyes and the PAC−CBP group, 48 eyes. The axial length and ACD were statistically significantly smaller (p = 0.009 and p = 0.005, respectively) and LT, LV and LAF were statistically significantly greater (p = 0.03, p = 0.008 and p = 0.004, respectively) in the PAC+CBP group. In the PAC eyes with glaucoma, the LT, LV and LAF were statistically significantly greater in the PAC+CBP group (p = 0.02, p = 0.001 and p = 0.02, respectively). The LAF had the strongest association with visible CBP in the regression analysis (Odds ratio = 141.70, p = 0.002). Conclusion Gonioscopical visualization of ciliary processes may suggest that anterior segment crowding, especially lens factor is the underlying mechanism in PAC. It may provide a practical gonioscopic examination method for predicting the predominant pathophysiology of PAC.
