Glaucoma is a kind of optic nerve degenerative disease characterized by both depressed atrophy of optic nerve and visual field defect. In Asia, the number of patients with primary Angle closure glaucoma (PACG) is increasing year by year, posing serious impact on the life quality of patients. Angle closure is the pathogenic basis of PACG. Early identification of the risk factors for Angle closure and control on its progression are crucial to the prognosis of PACG. With the continuous in-depth study of the iris in recent years, it has been found that the changes in iris volume are also important dynamic risk factor for PACG. This paper summarizes the latest research results of both domestic and overseas, describes and summarizes the histology, biological characteristics, surface features, vascular configuration and genomics of the iris, and further analyzes the role of iris characteristics in angle closure in details, in order to provide a reference for the clinical diagnosis and research work.
