On the Aetiology of Glaucoma Simplex

Intraocular Pressure in Eyes With and Without Fibrillopathia Epitheliocapsularis

“…Eyes with capsular glaucoma, for instance, are not marked by any particular elevated sector on the distribution curve. It has been calculated that a reduction of the effective pore diameter by approximately 10 per cent is theoretically capable of explaining the displacement of the distribution curve for intraocular pressure observed in the present material in eyes with fibrillopathy (Davanger 1965).…”

The Statistical Distribution of Intraocular Pressure in the Population

“…At this point we have W e now make the assumption that the normal distribution of pore diameter also includes the eyes which have an intraocular pressure above the limiting value P1 (Davanger 1965). According to results of mass investigations of glaucoma, we may approximately put D1 = D -?OD, which gives 2,3 percent occurrence of intraocular pressure above PI.…”
