[Biometry of the anterior chamber of the eye in Nd:YAG laser iridectomy].
In a prospective clinical study covering 41 eyes (28 patients) with narrow-angle glaucoma the central and peripheral anterior chamber depths were determined biomicroscopically before and after Nd:YAG laser iridectomy. In 29 eyes the central anterior chamber depth was also measured by ultrasonography. In contrast to the increase in central anterior chamber depth, which was only slight, the increase in the peripheral anterior chamber depth was statistically significant (P less than 0.01).
