[Ultrasonography of lens crystalline in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma].

One- and two-dimensional examination of the lens supplemented with biometry was carried out in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma. Echobiometry revealed a relationship between the thickness of the lens and type of cataract. Analysis of echographic images of the lens and biomicroscopy findings demonstrated the value of this method for the early objective assessment of cataract progress in patients with glaucoma, specifically, after antiglaucoma surgery.
