Central corneal thickness. Ocular correlations in normal eyes and those with primary angle-closure glaucoma.

Abstract

In recent papers (Lowe, I968, I969a) it was shown that in normal eyes, lens position and thickness were coordinated with axial length and radius of corneal curvature, whereas in eyes with primary angle-closure glaucoma these correlations were lacking. Throughout adult life, lenses increase in thickness at the same rate in normal eyes and those with angle-closure glaucoma, but no change could be shown in axial length or mean radius of corneal curvature.
