Long Anterior Lens Zonules and Intraocular Pressure.

The LAZ trait, with potential prevalence near 2%, was associated with a higher IOP. This observation is consistent with the hypothesis that the trait is a marker for underlying mechanisms that elevate glaucoma risk.

Time-of-Year Variation in Intraocular Pressure.

This analysis strongly supports a demonstrable annual, cyclical IOP pattern with a trough to peak variation of ≈1 mm Hg, which has a seasonal relationship.

Anterior Chamber Depth, Lens Thickness, and Related Measures in African American Females With Long Anterior Zonules: A Matched Study With Control for Refractive Error.

When refractive error was controlled for, this group of African American females with LAZ did not exhibit clinically significant differences in ACD, LT, VBL, and AL as compared with controls.
