Measurement of and Factors Associated with the Anterior Chamber Volume in Healthy Chinese Adults.

ABSTRACT: Purpose. To measure the anterior chamber volume (ACV) and determine factors associated with the ACV in healthy Chinese adults. Methods. In this cross-sectional study, we used swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) to measure ACV and other anterior segment parameters. Factors associated with ACV were also determined. Results. A total of 313 healthy Chinese adults were enrolled. The anterior segment parameters, including ACV, could be measured by SS-OCT with excellent repeatability and reproducibility. There was a significant difference between the horizontal and vertical anterior chamber widths (ACW) (P < 0.05), with a mean difference of 390??m. The ACV (mean 153.83 ± 32.42?mm³) was correlated with most of the anterior segment parameters, especially anterior chamber depth (ACD), which accounted for about 85% of the variation of ACV. Most of the anterior segment parameters were significantly correlated with age, and the relative changes in ACV and ACD were greatest in subjects aged 41-50 years. Conclusion. ACV was correlated with most of the anterior segment parameters measured in this study, particularly ACD. The relatively large difference between horizontal and vertical ACW suggests that the ACV could and should be measured using multiple OCT scans.

Project description:PurposeWe sought to investigate anatomic mechanisms of angle narrowing by assessing ocular biometric determinants of anterior chamber angle width.DesignPopulation-based cross-sectional study.MethodsSubjects ≥50 years of age from the Chinese American Eye Study underwent a comprehensive ocular examination, including anterior segment optical coherence tomography imaging and ultrasound A-scan. Independent variables, including anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens vault (LV), iris curvature (IC), anterior chamber width, lens thickness, vitreous cavity depth, and axial length, and dependent variables, including angle opening distance, were measured in 1 randomly selected eye per subject. Univariable and multivariable regression models with standardized regression coefficients (SRCs) and semipartial correlation coefficients squares (SPCC2) were used to assess relative and unique contributions by independent variables to angle width.ResultsTwo thousand two hundred twenty-five subjects (1433 women and 834 men) were included in the analysis. All biometric parameters except lens thickness differed between men and women (age-adjusted P < .001). In model 1A (R2 = 0.66), which included ACD, lens thickness, and vitreous cavity depth, ACD (SRC = 0.64, SPCC2 = 0.19) and IC (SRC = -0.26, SPCC2 = 0.041) were the strongest determinants of angle opening distance. In model 1B (R2 = 0.58), which included LV and axial length, LV (SRC = -0.46, SPCC2 = 0.1) and IC (SRC = -0.3, SPCC2 = 0.047) were the strongest determinants of angle opening distance. Determinants of angle width were similar in separate multivariable models for men and women.ConclusionsACD, LV, and IC are the strongest determinants of angle width in Chinese Americans. Sex-related differences in angle width are explained by differences among biometric measurements. These results provide insights into anatomic mechanisms of angle narrowing and have important implications for quantitative assessments of angle closure eyes.
