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

Table 3

Associations of iris conicity and anthropometric and ocular characteristics including ocular geometric parameters in the Gutenberg Health Study. We used a generalized estimating equation model to consider correlations between right and left eyes in our statistical model. CI: confidence interval.
