[Current methods for monitoring primary open-angle glaucoma]

This paper presents an analytical survey of the Russian and foreign literature dealing with the current idea on the pathology of a glaucomatous process and methods for the early diagnosis of glaucoma. It gives data on the impact of intraocular pressure, central corneal thickness and ocular biomechanical properties on the pathogenesis of primary open-angle and normotensive glaucoma. The results of electrophysiological, psychophysiological, ultrasound, and morphometric studies were assessed in the diagnosis of primary open-angle glaucoma.
