Purpose: To assess the short-term effect of laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) on anterior segment anatomy in angle-closure suspects using ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM). Design: Prospective intervention study. Participants: Persons identified as angle-closure suspects aged 50-79 years from a population-based survey in Guangzhou, China. Intervention: Laser peripheral iridotomy was performed on 1 randomly selected eye. Ultrasound biomicroscopy examination was carried out before and 2 weeks after the intervention. Main Outcome Measures: Proportion of eyes with iridotrabecular contact (ITC), as well as changes in UBM parameters including angle opening distance (AOD), iris thickness (IT), iris curvature, iris ciliary process distance, trabecular-ciliary process distance (TCPD), and scleral spur to iris insertion distance (SS-IR). Results A total of 72 of 101 eligible subjects participated in the study. The proportion of people with UBM-identified ITC in >= 1 quadrant dropped from 95% (68/72) before to 59% (42/72) after LPI. After LPI, the mean AOD at 250 microns increased from 0.064 mm (standard deviation [SD], 0.052) to 0.085 (0.052) mm (P
