      glaucoma].
PG  - 86-8
AB  - Primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) is the main form of glaucoma in China. The 
      pathological mechanism of PACG is not yet well understood. Traditional anatomic 
      disorders are characterized by biometric factors such as shallow anterior chamber 
      depth, narrow anterior chamber angle, short axial length, and thick crystalline 
      lens.Newly found potential risk factors include dynamic changes of iris and 
      choroid.With the development of enhanced depth imaging spectral-domain optical 
      coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) and swept source OCT (SS-OCT), it is possible to 
      measure choroidal thickness accurately.Several studies have found the choroid of 
      PACG eyes was thicker than that of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and normal 
      subject eyes, which suggests that increased choroidal thickness might be another 
      risk factor for PACG.
