Abstract:
The author measured the thick of centre-cornea for 42 patients angle closure glaucoma and 16 patients open angle glaucoma. The results: Centre-cornea in angle closure glaucoma and high IOP is clearly thicker than open angle glaucoma and than angle closure glaucoma potential. In the angle closure glaucoma, the thick of centre-cornea decrease and come to normal after the operation 3 months. Thick of centre-cornea in open angle glaucoma high IOP, potential and Vietnamese normal are equivalent. In patient open angle glaucoma, the thick of centre-cornea is not changing after the trabeculectomy
