Purpose: To investigate the extent of iris trabecular contact (ITC) measured by anterior segment OCT (AS-OCT) and its association with primary angle-closure (PAC) and PAC glaucoma (PACG) in eyes with gonioscopic angle-closure and to determine the diagnostic performance of ITC for detection of gonioscopic angle-closure.
Design: Multicenter, prospective study.
Participants: A total of 119 healthy participants with gonioscopic open-angle and 170 patients with gonioscopic angle-closure (94 with PAC suspect and 76 with PAC/PACG) were included.
Methods: One eye of each subject was randomly selected for AS-OCT imaging. Angle-opening distance (AOD500) and trabecular iris space area (TISA500) were measured every 10° for 360°. Two criteria of ITC500 were examined: (1) AOD500 = 0 mm and (2) TISA500 = 0 mm. The association between the extent of ITC500 and PAC/PACG in eyes with gonioscopic angle-closure was analyzed with logistic regression analysis.
Main Outcome Measures: Sensitivity and specificity of ITC500 for detection of gonioscopic angle-closure; odds ratio (OR) of PAC/PACG.
Results: The sensitivity of ITC500 ≥ 10° for detection of gonioscopic angle-closure ranged from 82.4% (AOD500 = 0 mm) to 84.7% (TISA500 = 0 mm), and the specificity was 85.7% (for both AOD500 = 0 mm and TISA500 = 0 mm). The extent of ITC500 determined by AS-OCT, not cumulative gonioscopy score (i.e., the sum of the modified Shaffer grades over 4 quadrants), was associated with the odds of PAC/PACG in eyes with gonioscopic angle-closure; the odds of PAC/PACG increased by 5% for every 10° increase in ITC500 (OR, 1.051, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.022-1.080 for AOD500 = 0 mm; OR, 1.049, 95% CI, 1.022-1.078 for TISA500 = 0 mm). Axial length and anterior chamber depth were not associated with PAC/PACG in eyes with gonioscopic angle-closure (P ≥ 0.574).
Conclusions: A greater extent of ITC measured by AS-OCT, not angle-closure determined by gonioscopy, was associated with a greater odds of PAC/PACG in eyes with gonioscopic angle-closure.

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to compare intraocular pressure (IOP) and anterior segment features in eyes with unilateral primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) and their fellow eyes with primary angle closure (PAC) or suspect (PACS).
- The results showed that eyes with PACG had significantly higher IOP and exhibited various anatomical differences, such as increased iridotrabecular contact and smaller anterior chamber dimensions, compared to PAC and PACS eyes.
- The research concluded that having a higher IOP before laser treatment (LPI) increases the likelihood of developing PACG and may lead to chronic elevated IOP and glaucoma-related optic damage post-treatment.!*

Prcis: In this meta-analysis of 6 studies and 5269 patients, deep learning algorithms applied to AS-OCT demonstrated excellent diagnostic performance for closed angle compared with gonioscopy, with a pooled sensitivity and specificity of 94% and 93.6%, respectively.
Purpose: This study aimed to review the literature and compare the accuracy of deep learning algorithms (DLA) applied to anterior segment optical coherence tomography images (AS-OCT) against gonioscopy in detecting angle closure in patients with glaucoma.

Article Synopsis
- Slit-lamp gonioscopy is essential in ophthalmology for examining anterior chamber angles and diagnosing various eye conditions, but the conventional method is cumbersome, requiring the juggling of a gonioscopy lens and a smartphone.
- The article introduces a new universal slit-lamp-mounted gonioscope called IndiGo, created from recycled materials, which simplifies the gonioscopy and goniophotography process.
- This innovative system allows for easier assessment of eye conditions and the quick sharing of high-quality images with glaucoma specialists, improving efficiency and promoting sustainability in eye care.

Aims: To compare the diagnostic performance of 360° anterior segment optical coherence tomography assessment by applying normative percentile cut-offs versus iris trabecular contact (ITC) for detecting gonioscopic angle closure.
Methods: In this multicentre study, 394 healthy individuals were included in the normative dataset to derive the age-specific and angle location-specific normative percentiles of angle open distance (AOD500) and trabecular iris space area (TISA500) which were measured every 10° for 360°. 119 healthy participants and 170 patients with angle closure by gonioscopy were included in the test dataset to investigate the diagnostic performance of three sets of criteria for detection of gonioscopic angle closure: (1) the 10th and (2) the 5th percentiles of AOD500/TISA500, and (3) ITC (ie, AOD500/TISA500=0 mm/mm).
