On the genesis of glaucoma. Nordenson (from ref. Zentr. f. g. Ophth.)
The author draws attention to the fact that only the theory that puts changes of the vitreous body in the basis of glaucoma satisfactorily explains the origin of the shallow anterior chamber of the eye in this disease. Namely, the lens diaphragm, due to the swelling of the vitreous body, moves forward, constricts the angle of the anterior chamber, etc. The swelling and increase in the volume of the vitreous body in glaucoma is caused by water retention in the vitreous body or mechanical obstruction to its outflow through the lens diaphragm.
