To investigate the changes of anterior segment morphology in patients with narrow angles using a rotating Scheimpflug camera before and after laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI).Forty-six eyes 46 classified as primary angle closure suspect, closure, glaucoma, acute fellow iris plateau configuration were enrolled this prospective interventional case series. Anterior chamber volume (ACV), depth (ACD), (ACA) evaluated an camera, LPI.After LPI, average increased from 1.88 ± 0.36 to 1.93 0.32 mm (P=0.49). The mean ACV 74.6 25 89.4 21.1 (P=0.003). ACA 4.8 23.4 3.8 degrees (P=0.01). Eyes synechial (primary glaucoma) demonstrated significantly smaller change compared appositional suspect).ACV determined by technology increase statistically significant degree appears be more pronounced cases closure.
