Evaluation of the iridocorneal angle with accommodation using optical coherence tomography
Journal Title: International Journal of Ophthalmology - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 10
Abstract
The changes in the iridocorneal angle structure during accommodation are assessed by means of anterior segment optical coherence tomography. Thirteen right eyes were included in the study. The device used for the measurement was the Visante® omni system. The stimuli were set up at different vergences (0.0 D, -1.5 D, and -3.0 D). The angle opening distance 500 and 750, the trabecular iris space area 500 and 750, and the scleral spur angle parameters were assessed at the nasal and temporal regions. The results in the iridotrabecular angle comparing the three accommodative states of the eye did not yield any statistically significant difference at nasal or temporal angle sections. In light of our results and in the conditions of our study, the structures of the iridocorneal angle are not significantly changed with accommodation.
