Rate of peripheral anterior synechiae according to mean gonioscopic width* in right eyes

Mean angle width
10°20°30°⩾40°
*Mean gonioscopic width calculated by adding Shaffer grade in each of four quadrants and dividing by 4; 0 = 0 in all quadrants, 1 = 0.25–1.25, 2 = 1.5–2.25, 3 = 2.5–3.25, 4 = 3.5–4.
Eyes having previous intraocular surgery and secondary pathology such as iris neovascularisation were excluded.
