“…Some papers reported that the ILCD was lower in patients with angle-closure and relative pupillary block than in normal patients (21) . Another paper showed that the ILCD of fellow eyes of APAC decreased when the illumination changed from light to dark (9) . This paper demonstrated an ILCD increase after LPI in APAC and IPAC eyes.…”

“…APAC or IPAC cases were defined by the presence of at least two symptoms: ocular or periocular pain, nausea and/or vomiting, previous history of intermittent blurring of vision with haloes; and an intraocular pressure (IOP) higher than 28 mmHg (Goldmann tonometry); the presence of three of the following signs: conjunctival injection, corneal epithelial edema, slowly reactive mid-dilated pupil, and a shallow anterior chamber; and presence of an appositional closed angle eye, verified by gonioscopy or UBM in darkness. Exclusion criteria were: posterior synechia; goniosynechia; impossibility to perform LPI due to corneal edema or corneal opacity; moderate or intense nuclear sclerosis defined as Lens Opacities Classification System (LOCS) II higher than grade 2 (NC2, NO2) (10) ; secondary glaucoma; plateau iris configuration (PIC) diagnosed by UBM exam described in a previous paper (9) to confirm the diagnosis of PIC, (this exam revels anteriorly located ciliary processes which close the ciliary sulcus and provide structural support behind the peripheral iris); unresolved APAC crisis due to unresponsiveness to medical treatment and requiring surgical management (such as LPI or trabeculectomy); history of previous trauma, or surgical procedure (laser therapy or trabeculectomy) in one or both eyes; causes of angle-closure other than relative pupillary block.…”
