Mean scleral spur length in normal and POAG eyes. (A) Using our method, the mean scleral spur length was significantly shorter in POAG eyes (0.149 ± 0.008 mm) than in normal eyes (0.200 ± 0.005 mm, P < 0.0001). Error bars: SE. **P ≤ 0.001. (B) Using the method of Nesterov and Batmanov,17 mean scleral spur length was much shorter than the measurement by our method, but it also is significantly shorter in POAG eyes (0.057 ± 0.003 mm) compared to normal eyes (0.081 ± 0.003 mm, P < 0.0001). Error bars: SE. **P ≤ 0.001. (C) Using the method of Moses and Arnzen,20 mean scleral spur length was shorter than the measurement by our method, but longer than the method of Nesterov and Batmanov.17 Similarly, the length was significantly shorter in POAG eyes (0.111 ± 0.006 mm) than in normal eyes (0.144 ± 0.008 mm, P = 0.002). Error bars: SE. *P < 0.05.
