Introduction To investigate the relationship between intraocular pressure (IOP), anterior chamber depth (ACD) and lens thickness (LT) in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients and compare with age- and sex-matched controls. Methods A cross-sectional analytical study of 62 newly diagnosed POAG p...
