AACG = acute angle-closure glaucoma; PACS = primary angle-closure suspect; AC = angle closure; NC = normal control; LPI = laser peripheral iridotomy; LV = lens vault; ACD = anterior chamber depth; AV = anterior vault.
ACD, LV, and Anterior vault are given as mean values ± standard deviation.
^*Estimated AV = LV + ACD.
^**Estimated relative AV = Estimated AV/Axial length.
