ABSTRACT
This study analysed the trabecular meshwork (TM) length in open and closed angle patients and presented a better method for locating the scleral spur using Schwalbe's line method in anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). Patients who underwent AS-OCT at Yonsei University Gangnam Severance Hospital we enrolled; 58 and 57 open and closed angle eyes, respectively. We measured the distance from the scleral spur to Schwalbe's line as the TM length and compared it between open and closed angle patients, and to previous studies. TM length was applied to locate the scleral spur using Schwalbe's line method. Mean TM lengths were 811 ± 83 µm and 575 ± 96 µm in the open and closed angle groups, respectively (p < 0.001). Comparing the actual TM heights using Schwalbe's line method with an updated reference distance significantly increased accuracy to locate the scleral spur (open 811 µm, closed 575 µm) when compared with the 1000 µm reference distance (p < 0.001). TM length was significantly different between open and closed angle patients. Further, the reference distance for Schwalbe's line method should be distinguished according to open and closed angle eyes in order that the scleral spur can be located properly.
