BACKGROUND Laser peripheral iridotomy is a useful method in primary angle-closure eyes to prevent angle-closure attack and development of glaucomatous optic nerve damage. The aim of this study was to quantify morphological changes after LPI and their impact on intraocular pressure, and to evaluate predictive parameters for enlarging the anterior chamber angle after laser peripheral iridotomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Ultrasound biomicroscopy images and intraocular pressure before and after laser peripheral iridotomy from 62 eyes of 34 patients with primary angle-closure were retrospectively analysed. Anterior chamber angle, anterior chamber depth, lens thickness, iris curvature and a newly defined parameter, the end-iris-lens vault were measured. RESULTS In each quadrant anterior chamber angle was on average significantly larger (at 12 o'clock: from 10.1° to 15.0°; at 3 o'clock: from 13.4° to 19.8°; at 6 o'clock: from 12.2° to 18.5°; at 9 o'clock: from 12.9 to 17.9°; p
