Etude des dimensions de la chambre antérieure de l'oeil humain. 2ème partie: influence des amétropies

Following their work on the eminctropc. the authors report on an investigation of 210 amelropes. They conclude that the anterior chamber is shallower in the hvpermetrope. and deeper in the myope, than in the emmet rope. There is a mathematical relationship between the degree of ametropia and the depth of the anterior chamber in uncomplicated cases, but not in complicated myopia, nor in ttni-ocular myopia. There is no relationship between the refractive error and the diameter and curvature of of the cornea. © 1962 S. Karger AG, Basel.
