Purpose: To compare the lens’ thickness and position between symptomatic and asymptomatic primary angle closure (PAC) patients.Methods: Sixty-six patients (66 eyes) with acute symptomatic PAC, 49 patients (49 eyes) with asymptomatic PAC and 32 normal controls (32 eyes) were enrolled at the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University. A-mode applanation ultrasonagraphy examination was performed to get axial length (AL). Anterior segment optical coherence tomography examination was performed to measure the anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT) and crystalline lens rise (CLR). The differences of these parameters among the three groups of symptomatic PAC, asymptomatic PAC and normal controls were compared.Results: There was no significant difference of the mean age among the 3 groups (P=0.087).
