Data are presented as mean ± SD. P values are for Student's t-tests. P values in bold denote statistical significance (P < 0.05). Anterior segment and iris parameters were assessed by anterior segment optical coherence tomography. Data were obtained from a single image taken in the horizontal meridian. ASOCT measurements were compared based on subjects' iris insertion type in a particular quadrant (basal versus nonbasal). S, superior quadrant; N, nasal quadrant; I, inferior quadrant; T, temporal quadrant.
