There is a considerable lack of awareness of slit-lamp measurement of anterior chamber depth (ACD) by the Redmond Smith method (SACD) in present day-to-day clinical practice, which may provide rapid assessment in pseudoexfoliation (PXF) when assessing for angle closure and planning for cataract surgery. This assumes importance not only in outreach clinics but also in the ongoing pandemic caused by the highly contagious novel coronavirus, where social distancing is advocated to contain the spread. We aimed to compare the axial ACD in PXF and normal patients by SACD, and its agreement with the anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) and LenstarLS-900.
