Abstract AR
Objectives: To assess the width of the anterior chamber angle in Iraqis 40 years of age and older of both sexes because of the high incidence of angle closure glaucoma in Iraqis and to study sexual differences and age related changes.
Methods : 282 females and 282 males were included in the study.
The width of the angle of the anterior chamber was assessed and the configuration of the angle was noted.
Results: The anterior chamber angle of the eye was found to be generally wide with females having a narrower angle than males.
The angle narrows with increasing age.
Anterior insertion of iris processes was found in a significant number (3.01%).
Conclusion; The angle is generally wide in Iraqis, but the anterior insertion of iris processes may predispose to angle closure glaucoma
