Central anterior chamber depth after laser iridectomy.
We found the true anterior chamber depth to be unaffected by successful laser iridectomy in ten eyes treated by this modality for chronic angle-closure glaucoma. The apparent general deepening seemed to be the result of peripheral chamber deepening combined with the common use of strong cycloplegic agents, reversing the shallowing effect of preoperative miotic medications.
