Abstract
PURPOSE: To assess anatomic changes after laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) and predictors of angle widening based on anterior segment (AS) OCT and angle opening based on gonioscopy. DESIGN: Prospective observational study. PARTICIPANTS: Primary angle-closure suspects (PACSs) 50 to 70 years of age. METHODS: Participants of the Zhongshan Angle Closure Prevention (ZAP) Trial underwent gonioscopy and AS-OCT imaging at baseline and 2 weeks after LPI. Primary angle-closure suspect was defined as the inability to visualize pigmented trabecular meshwork in 2 or more quadrants on static gonioscopy. Laser peripheral iridotomy was performed on 1 eye per patient in superior (between 11 and 1 o'clock) or temporal or nasal locations (at or below 10:30 or 1:30 o'clock). Biometric parameters in horizontal and vertical AS-OCT scans were measured and averaged. Linear and logistic regression modeling were performed to determine predictors of angle widening, defined as change in mean angle opening distance measured at 750 μm from the scleral spur (AOD750); poor angle widening, defined as the lowest quintile of change in mean AOD750; and poor angle opening, defined as residual PACS after LPI based on gonioscopy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Anatomic changes and predictors of angle widening and opening after LPI. RESULTS: Four hundred fifty-four patients were included in the analysis. Two hundred nineteen underwent superior LPI and 235 underwent temporal or nasal LPI. Significant changes were found among most biometric parameters (P < 0.006) after LPI, including greater AOD750 (P < 0.001). One hundred twenty eyes (26.4%) showed residual PACS after LPI. In multivariate regression analysis, superior LPI location (P = 0.004), smaller AOD750 (P < 0.001), and greater iris curvature (P < 0.001), were predictive of greater angle widening. Temporal or nasal LPI locations (odds ratio [OR], 2.60, P < 0.001) was predictive of poor angle widening. Smaller mean gonioscopy grade (OR, 0.34, 1-grade increment) was predictive of poor angle opening. CONCLUSIONS: Superior LPI location results in significantly greater angle widening compared with temporal or nasal locations in a Chinese population with PACS. This supports consideration of superior LPI locations to optimize anatomic changes after LPI.
