Abstract:
On 108 eyes of 54 patients (19 males, 35 females, aged 45-75) thickness of cornea was measured. 40 patients with 1 eye acute glaucoma and the 2nd eye has not glaucoma (potential angle closure), 14 other patients with both 2 eyes of high ocular pressure (entire closure of vertibular angle). Results showed that the centre corneal thickness got an important change in angle closure glaucoma, it had a lineary relation with ocular pressure. In the crisis of acute angle closure glaucoma, corneal thickness accounted for x = 0.5730.053 mm and the crisis of potential angle closure glaucoma x = 0.5310.031 mm. With an increase of pressure of 1 mmHg, corneal thickness increases by 0.038 mm
