[Permeability of blood-eye barrier in patients with primary glaucoma combined with lens opacity]

The development of glaucoma involves changes in the chamber humor caused by hydrodynamic disorders. Primary glaucoma is often combined with lens opacities. Comparison of the content of protein and protein fractions in aqueous humor and blood serum of patients with glaucoma and different degree of lens opacity showed that, in contrast to senile cataract, cataract in a glaucomatous eye forms when the permeability of the blood-eye barrier is increased, which justifies the administration of drugs stabilizing it.
