The Schlemm\u2019s canal (SC) area, trabecular meshwork (TM) thickness, scleral spur (SS) length, and AST were measured using swept-source optical coherence tomography. AST was measured at 0\u2009mm (AST0), 1\u2009mm (AST1), 2\u2009mm (AST2), and 3\u2009mm (AST3) from SS.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The HMPOAG group had significantly thinner AST, SS length, and TM thickness than the HM and POAG groups (all <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05).
