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

Figure 4

Example of Scheimpflug images of an intraindividual comparison of a pseudophakic right eye (a) and a phakic left eye (b) in the GHS study population. Please observe the different light reflexes by the artificial intraocular lens and the crystalline lens. The iris is flat in the pseudophakic eye (a), while it is positioned towards the cornea in the phakic eye (b). This is described by iris conicity: iris conicity was −1° in the pseudophakic eye and 11° in the phakic eye.
