SEDENO CRUZ, Ibis; GARCIA GONZALEZ, Francisco; STUSSER, Rodolfo  and  PADRON ALVAREZ, Vivian. Value of ecobiometry in the primary closed-angle glaucoma. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 1999, vol.12, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3070.

The importance of ecobiometry for diagnosing primary closed-angle glaucoma is evaluated in this paper. 105 eyes with this diseases were clinically studied and gruoped according to the results of gonioscopy. Ecobiometry was performed as a diagnostic complement. A direct relationship between the exten of the angle and the axial distance and the depth of the anterior chamber was observed. An inversa relationship between the extent of the angle and the width of the crystalline lens was found. A depth of the anterior chamber under 2 mm is a high risk for the development of acute glaucoma. The ecobiometric analysis allowed to know the anatomical state of the eye better, making possible an opportune therapeutic guidance
