BACKGROUND: To determine how many measurements should be evaluated to determine the iris bow and evaluate changes of iris bow at 12 clock positions after LPI in primary angle closure eyes. METHODS: A total of 93 primary angle closure eyes in 93 Chinese patients were enrolled. Anterior iris bowing was evaluated at 12 clock positions and 4 clock positions (3, 6, 9, and 12 o’clock) before, 1 week and 3 months after LPI using swept source optical coherence tomography. RESULTS: At baseline, almost all of the eyes exhibited an iris bow when measured using 12 clock positions, consistent with results obtained from measurements at 4 clock positions (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.99). LPI caused a relative unified change in all of the clock positions (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.91) except the LPI site. After LPI, there was no significant difference between 12 and 4 clock position measurements for the iris bow (both p > 0.05), with ~34.1% vs. 33% of the patients remained iris bow at 1 week and 34% vs. 31.9% of the patients remained iris bow at 3 months. However, the coexisting iris bow configuration was more common when measured using 4 clock positions (16.5% vs. 3.3% at 1 week and 25.5% vs. 10.6% at 3 months). CONCLUSIONS: There was excellent consistency when measuring the iris bow at 4 or 12 clock positions. LPI caused a relatively unified iris bow change at 12 clock positions, and a single LPI relieved only ~2/3 of the iris bow configurations.
