| Hyperopia with Shallow Anterior Chamber | |
| Eyes with high hyperopia have a shallow anterior chamber because of the more spherical lens and shorter optical axis. They tend to suffer from acute angle closure glaucoma when the pupil is dilated, while the eye appears normal in in the intervals. Consider prophylactic YAG-laser iridotomy before dilating for diagnostic purposes. | |
