Abstract

The Authors have taken into account the most common effect of antiglaucomatous drugs on the depth of the anterior chamber. The modifications of the anterior chamber have been evaluated utilizing a Jaeger Pachymeter. The values were obtained before the drug instillation and an hour afterwards. The results are presented as the mean and standard deviation. Among the examined drugs, only miotics have brought about a notable decrease, whereas the others have shown no significant effects.
