Effect of Pharmacological Pupil Dilatation on Angle Configuration in Untreated Primary Angle Closure Suspects: A Swept Source Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography Study

Precis: Angle closure worsens with pharmacological dilatation in about 50.0% of the subjects diagnosed as primary angle closure suspects. Purpose: To evaluate the changes in angle configuration with swept source anterior segment optical coherence tomography before and after pharmacological pupil dilatation in untreated primary angle closure suspects. Patients & Methods: 106 subjects over the age of 50 years and diagnosed as primary angle closure suspects were included in this cross-sectional cohort study.360-degree scans of the angles were captured using swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-1000, Tomey Corporation, Nagoya, Japan) before and 1 hour after pharmacological dilatation . The angle scans ...
