摘要

Aims

This study aimed to examine the impact of laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) on subgroups of primary angle closure eyes based on swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).

Methods

SS-OCT was used to image 115 eyes with primary angle-closure disease (PACD) at prior to LPI, 1 week, 4 weeks and 12 weeks after LPI. A hierarchical cluster analysis was conducted to classify PACD eyes into subgroups based on pre-LPI SS-OCT parameters. The primary parameters were then compared after LPI to assess any variations in the outcomes among the identified subgroups. A mixed-effects model was used to evaluate the difference between subgroups and the effect of LPI.

Results

The hierarchical cluster analysis resulted in the identification of two distinct clusters. Cluster 1 (56 eyes) exhibited larger lens vault, pupil distance, iris volume, iris area, iris thickness 2000, as well as narrower angles (p < 0.05 for all). Cluster 2 (59 eyes) had smaller anterior chamber width and anterior chamber volume (p < 0.05 for all). Following LPI, there was an observed increase in the angle size and a decrease in irido-trabecular contact index (ITCI) in both clusters (p < 0.05 for all). Over a period of 3 months, the cluster 1 exhibited stability in angle size and ITCI, whereas cluster 2 exhibited a gradual decline in angle size and a gradual increase in ITCI (p < 0.05 for all).

Conclusion

This study successfully identified two distinct subgroups of PACD eyes based on SS-OCT parameters. Smaller eyes demonstrated a declining response to LPI over a period of 3 months.
