Structural features of eyelid connective tissue in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma.

Purpose: To study the connective tissue (CT) structure of upper eyelid skin of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients.

Patients And Methods: Forty-seven patients aged 47-91 expecting blepharoplasty formed 3 groups: group 1 [16 subjects without POAG, median age 55 years (interquartile range 54-55.5)], group 2 [12 subjects without POAG, median age 73 (72-76.

[New algorithm of aqueous humor dynamics assessment in glaucoma].

The purpose of the study was to develop a new algorithm of aqueous humor dynamics assessment in glaucomatous eyes, which would take into account the shape of the tonographic curve and individual elastic properties of the corneoscleral capsule. Basic ophthalmic examination supplemented with tonography and differentiated tonometry was performed on 33 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), 8 POAG suspects, and 9 healthy controls. Obtained data were processed in accordance with the developed algorithm.
