Racial and Sociodemographic Disparities in the Detection of Narrow Angles before Detection of Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma in the United States.

Most patients who receive a new diagnosis of PACG in the United States do not have a prior diagnosis of ANA.

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Blindness Among Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma Patients in the United States: An IRIS Registry Analysis.

Blindness affects 1 of 9 patients with newly diagnosed PACG in the IRIS Registry.

Rates and Patterns of Diagnostic Conversion from Anatomical Narrow Angle to Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma in the United States.

Annual risk of diagnostic conversion from ANA to PACG is relatively low overall; elderly patients are at higher risk whereas patients receiving cataract surgery are at lower risk.

Patterns and Disparities in Recorded Gonioscopy During Initial Glaucoma Evaluations in the United States.

More than 70% patients undergoing initial glaucoma evaluation in the United States do not have a record of gonioscopy, especially elderly, non-Hispanic White, and pseudophakic patients in non-Northeast regions.

Refractive Error and Anterior Chamber Depth as Risk Factors in Primary Angle Closure Disease: The Chinese American Eye Study.

The risk of PACD rises rapidly with greater hyperopia while remaining relatively low for all degrees of myopia.

Racial and Ethnic Differences in the Roles of Myopia and Ocular Biometrics as Risk Factors for Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma.

Although the POAG risk conferred by myopic RE and longer AL is similar between Latino and Chinese Americans, the difference in POAG prevalence between the two groups is narrowed by higher myopia prevalence among Chinese Americans.

Age-Related Changes in Dynamic Iris Behavior Assessed Using a Programmable Closed-Loop Iris Control System.

A programmable closed-loop iris control system can modulate dynamic iris behavior and maintain the iris in a mid-dilated position. Pupillary constriction velocity and iris activity in the mid-dilated position decrease with age.

Ocular Biometric Predictors of Corneal Endothelial Contact by Intracameral Implants for Open-Angle Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension.

CEC by a simulated intracameral implant was predicted in a subset of patients with chart diagnosis of POAG or OHTN. AS-OCT biometrics were more strongly predictive of CEC than gonioscopy.

Longitudinal Trends in Resource Utilization Associated With Newly Diagnosed Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma in the United States.

Costs associated with newly diagnosed PACG were found to be disproportionately driven by a small subset of cases.

Practice Patterns and Sociodemographic Disparities in the Clinical Care of Anatomical Narrow Angles in the United States.

More than a quarter of patients with newly diagnosed ANA receive treatment with LPI.
