The possible correlation of intra-ocular pressure and the volume of the anterior chamber.
An investigation is made into the correlation between anterior chamber volume and intra-ocular pressure. It is suggested that patients can be screened for possible ocular hypertension by measuring their corneal radii and the depth of their anterior chamber. A nomogram shows which combinations of the parameters may lead to ocular hypertension and thus indicates which patients need to be investigated at greater length.
