Relation between axial length and refraction in eyes with congenital glaucoma
Chapter
Summary
The purpose of the present communication was the evaluation of the frequency of refractive error in 107 patients with congenital glaucoma which had their intra-ocular pressure surgically controlled. Those findings were correlated to the respective biometric values of the axial length of the eye. The biometric study was obtained by ultrasonography. The biometric findings and its respective refractive error in the congenital glaucoma group were compared to the same parameters of a group of normal eyes in three different age groups up to the age of 15 years.
