title: [Anterior and posterior chambers interrelation in patients with glaucoma associated with myopia].
abstract: In examination of patients with glaucoma associated with high myopia (6.5 - 10.0 dpt) aged 18-32 years old we used ultrasound biomicroscopy and gonioscopy. The main group was subdivided into 3 smaller groups: the 1st one (12 eyes) contained patients with pretrabecular angle block, 2nd (18 eyes--with trabecular angle block, 3rd (7 eyes)--with partial posterior chamber block and iris root prolapse. 27 emmetropic patients with POAG and 10 myopic eyes with normal IOP served as controls. Comparative analysis showed that one of the most significant factors of POAG pathogenesis in high myopic eyes is congenital and acquired changes in anterior and posterior chambers interrelation.
