Manuscript Title: A-scan Parameters and the Risk of Phacomorphic Glaucoma in the Kazakh Population
Reviewer reports:
Reviewer 1: The manuscript becomes valuable if tables are reconstruction to be clearer for researchers.
Response: Thank you. We appreciate the reviewer`s insightful suggestion and we agree with this comment. We reconstructed all tables.
Action: As suggested we reconstructed Table 1, 2, 3.
This manuscript is a resubmission of an earlier submission. The following is a list of the peer review reports and author responses from that submission.
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The paper addresses a well known topic - the high prevalence of angle-closure glaucoma in small eyes with large lenses. The (relative) novelty of the paper is: the cohort of patients ( Kazakh nationality) and the attempt to provide metrics to help identifying patients at risk.
There are some problems for the second issue: (1) Despite the hard work, sensitivity and specificity are still much too low to state ACD lower than 2.9 mm will induce glaucoma. (2) The higher prevalence in women might be due to older age, please check.
In addition the paper should be thoroughly revised to correct for the frequent inaccuracies.
