Iris Crypts Could Reduce the Chance of Angle Closure: A Computational Biomechanics Study Derived From Clinical and Human Iris Data
Our findings on the biomechanics of crypts in the iris may drive the development of novel treatments by altering ABL morphology, providing an alternative bypass for angle closure prevention in high-risk patients.
