Schlemm's canal and primary open angle glaucoma: correlation between Schlemm's canal dimensions and outflow facility
RR ALLINGHAM, AW de KATER, RC ETHIER - Experimental eye research, 1996 - Elsevier
The purpose of the study was to examine the correlation between outflow facility and
morphometric measurements of Schlemm's canal (SC) in normal and glaucomatous human
eyes. Outflow facility was measured in ten normal and five glaucomatous (POAG) human
eyes prior to perfusion-fixation at a pressure of 15mmHg. Two separate sections per
quadrant (eight sections per eye) were analysed using a morphometric analysis system. SC
cross sectional area, perimeter, and inner wall length were measured. Inner wall endothelial …
