  • The study aimed to identify risk factors for phacomorphic glaucoma (PG) by comparing measurements of biometric parameters in eyes affected by PG and those with mature cataracts.
  • Researchers analyzed 71 PG-affected eyes, 311 control eyes, and 71 fellow eyes using A-scan ultrasound biometry to measure axial lengths, anterior chamber depths, and lens thicknesses.
  • Findings revealed that PG eyes had smaller axial lengths and anterior chamber depths, and larger lens thicknesses, with specific thresholds indicating higher risks for PG linked to shallow anterior chamber depth and thicker lens.
