Radius of curvature of the anterior lens surface. Correlations in normal eyes and in eyes involved with primary angle-closure glaucoma.

Abstract

Recent papers have presented correlations between the radius of curvature of the anterior lens surface and anterior chamber depth (Lowe, I972), and between the anterior lens radius and the anterior and posterior corneal radius (Lowe and Clark, I973). This paper presents measurements of anterior lens radius in relation to age, lens thickness, and axial length in two series comprising 9I normal eyes and 9I eyes involved with primary angleclosure glaucoma. The examinations were conducted at the same times, in the same manner, and on the same subjects as those described in the previous two papers.
