Abstract

The main barriers keeping individuals with high-risk of angle closure from seeking eye-care service are the absence of both disease awareness and convenient and low-cost access to the ocular health care system. Present study described the efficacy of a health examination center-based screening model designed to detect eyes with high risk of angle closure (HRAC) among healthy individuals using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). From March 1 to April 30, 2017, consecutive individuals aged ≥ 40 years undergoing routine physical examinations at a health examination center were invited to enroll. Presenting visual acuity (PVA), intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement, non-mydriatic fundus photography and AS-OCT were performed by three trained nurses. Participants with PVA
