[Modern notions of regularities and mechanisms of formation of Frank-Kamenetskiy glaucoma].
Frank-Kamentsky glaucoma, a hereditary disease of the eyes, transmitted by female partners with X-linked type. It is accompanied by typical progressive lesions in the stroma and in the iridal pigment sheet at the background of goniodisgenesis. Males suffer from these diseases most frequently. Glaucoma develops in the 2-nd--3-rd decades of life. Its course resembles that of in course open-angle glaucoma. Megalocornea and goniodysgenesis are aggravating factors pre-disposing to glaucoma. Microsymptoms in the iris of female conductors can serve as a prognostic test in planning progeny.
