Steeper Iris Conicity Is Related to a Shallower Anterior Chamber: The Gutenberg Health Study.

CONCLUSIONS: Associations indicate a correlation between iris conicity with risk factors for angle-closure, namely, shallower anterior chamber depth and thicker human lens. In pseudophakic eyes, iris conicity is significantly lower, indicating that cataract surgery flattens the iris. PMID: 29085672 [PubMed]
