Abstract
- The authors discuss the prevalence of angle closure disease in Asia, particularly in developing countries. They state that the biometric risk factors for the disease include axial length, anterior chamber depth, and lens thickness. Furthermore, they note that the changes in biometry will not lead to the differences in genetic or non-biomtric risk factors for the disease.
