Purpose: We previously identified three distinct subgroups of patients with primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) based on anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) imaging. Group 1 was characterized by a large iris area with deepest anterior chambers, group 2 by a large lens vault (LV) and shallow anterior chamber depth (ACD), and group 3 displayed intermediate values across iris area, LV, and ACD. The purpose of the present study was to determine the distribution of plateau iris in these subgroups using ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) features.
Methods: UBM images of the 210 subjects who were previously enrolled for the ASOCT subgrouping analysis and had undergone laser peripheral iridotomy were assessed and graded by a single glaucoma fellowship trained clinician. Plateau iris was defined as the presence of all the following UBM criteria in at least two quadrants: anteriorly directed ciliary body, absent ciliary sulcus, iris angulation, flat iris plane, and iridoangle touch.
Results: Of 210 subjects, 23 were excluded due to poor-quality images. Based on standardized UBM criteria, the overall prevalence of plateau iris was 36.9% (n = 187). The proportion of plateau iris was similar across the three groups (subgroup 1:35.4% (n = 29); subgroup 2:39.0% (n = 32); subgroup 3:34.8% (n = 8), P = 0.87). On multiple logistic regression analysis, iris thickness at 750 μm from the scleral spur (IT750) was the only variable associated with plateau iris (odds ratio: 1.5/100 μm increase in iris thickness [IT], P = 0.04).
Conclusions: The proportion of plateau iris was similar across the three ASOCT-based PACG subgroups and more than one-third of subjects with PACG were diagnosed with plateau iris based on standardized UBM criteria. In addition, we noted that eyes with increased peripheral IT have an increased likelihood of plateau iris.

Article Synopsis
- An environmental bacterium, previously known as a rare pathogen, is seldom linked to human infections but has been associated with cases like sepsis and meningitis.
- A 67-year-old woman with several health issues developed complications after surgery for a broken leg, leading to skin and bone infections caused by this bacterium.
- The case highlights that while serious infections from this bacterium are rare, they can affect immunocompromised patients, marking the first documented instance of osteitis and skin necrosis from this organism.
Potential utility of anterior segment optical coherence tomography and biometry in differentiating plateau iris configuration from pupillary block.

Article Synopsis
- Angle closure glaucoma primarily affects older individuals but can also impact younger people, making it crucial to identify its causes for effective treatment planning.
- The study investigates the use of anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) and optical biometry to differentiate between plateau iris configuration (PIC) and pupillary block (PB) in young adults with primary angle closure disease.
- Findings indicate that while both PIC and PB have parameters smaller than normal eyes, no single measurement distinctly separates PB from PIC; however, axial length and relative lens vault offer some ability to make this distinction.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to create and validate a deep learning model called CMD-Net that can effectively identify and classify mechanisms of angle-closure (AC) in eye images obtained from anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT).
- - Researchers analyzed 11,035 AS-OCT images from 1,455 participants, comparing the deep learning model's performance against human ophthalmologists in classifying AC mechanisms, ultimately showing CMD-Net's superior accuracy with mean AUC scores of up to 0.988.
- - Findings indicate that CMD-Net may serve as a reliable tool for classifying AC mechanisms in clinical settings, although further testing is necessary to confirm its effectiveness.
