Role of Lens Factors in the Pathogenesis of Angle-closure Glaucoma
Primary angle-closure glaucoma(PACG)is a common type of glaucoma that is extremely threatening to vision in clinical practice.Its pathogenic factors are complex,including local anatomical factors such as short axis,shallow anterior chamber,narrow chamber angle,lens and other factors such as gender,age,family history and so on.In recent years,with the development of ophthalmic imaging technology,the anatomical structure of the eye can be clearly observed by ultrasound biomicroscopy(UBM),anterior segment optical coherence tomography(AS-OCT)and other examinations,and then its role in the mechanism of angle closure can be studied.The researchers'exploration of the influencing factors of PACG also tends to be refined and quantified.This article reviews the role of lens factors in the pathogenesis of PACG in recent years,aiming to provide guidance for early diagnosis and intervention of PACG in clinical work.
