    Cycloscopy effectively visualizes ciliary processes in primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) eyes, even with small pupils. Findings suggest PACG may stem from ciliary process changes, validating cycloscopy as a diagnostic tool.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Glaucoma Research

    Background:

    • Primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) is a significant cause of irreversible blindness.
    • Understanding the morphological characteristics of ocular structures in PACG is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of cycloscopy in visualizing ciliary processes in eyes with PACG.
    • To investigate potential causal relationships between ciliary process morphology and PACG development.

    Main Methods:

    • Cycloscopy was performed on eyes diagnosed with PACG and non-glaucomatous wide-angle eyes.
    • Accessibility of ciliary processes through small pupils with and without indentation was assessed.
    • Ocular parameters such as anterior chamber depth and prone-position test results were recorded.

    Main Results:

    • Ciliary processes were accessible via cycloscopy in PACG eyes, often without indentation.
    • Shallow anterior chamber depth was observed in 66% of PACG eyes.
    • A positive prone-position test was noted in 41% of PACG eyes.

    Conclusions:

    • Morphological alterations in ciliary processes may be a contributing factor to the onset of PACG.
    • Cycloscopy demonstrates reliability as a diagnostic method for evaluating PACG-related ocular changes.
