A total of 27 Chinese unilateral APAC subjects and 132 control subjects with comprehensive ophthalmic examinations were recruited. Occult zonulopathy was identified with the intraoperative signs during cataract surgery. The proportion of occult zonulopathy was compared between the APAC and control groups. A multivariate logistic analysis was conducted to determine the association between occult zonulopathy and APAC. The ocular biometric parameters were compared between APAC and the contralateral eyes in APAC patients with or without occult zonulopathy.<\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec>\n            <jats:sec>\n               <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n               <jats:p>APAC patients (63.0%) had a significantly larger proportion of occult zonulopathy than control subjects (1.5%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001).
