*Sequence number of AMT performed. †Density: grade 1 = iris detail still visible, grade 2 = iris detail not visible, grade 3 = dense white plaque. ‡Relation to AMT: Centred = centred under AMT, overlap = at least part of calcified area under original AMT. Only one measurable photo of calcification available. §Superficial calcium became dislodged between photographs.

Min length = minimum recorded length of largest focus of calcification, Min area = minimum recorded total area of calcification, Max length = maximum recorded length of largest focus of calcification, Max area = maximum recorded total area of calcification.
