Summary
Study start date: July 1, 1977
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.This study will concentrate on abnormalities of the anterior chamber with or without elevated intraocular pressure. The purpose of the study will be to determine if there is a common pathogenesis shared by these conditions. A natural history study of 40 individuals with these diseases will utilize clinical measurements and photographs for documentation of this hypothesis. In addition, surgical specimens, when available, will be studied.
