COMPARISON OF BIOMETRICS CORNEA IN PRIMARY OPEN-ANGLE AND PRIMARY ANGLE CLOSURE GLAUCOMA
The article is devoted to assessing the state of the central corneal thickness in different forms of primary glaucoma. The results of the study of the central corneal thickness in patients with primary open-angel (POAG) and angel closure (PACG) glaucoma compared with the control group of healthy individuals. According to the study, in the POAG central corneal thickness was significantly smaller than in PACG and in the control group. In the PACG «thin» and «ultrathin» corneas occurred twice rarer and “thick” and “ultrathick” ones occurred almost twice more frequently in comparison with POAG. The research also revealed an inverse relationship of the central corneal thickness values depending on the stage of glaucomatous process.
