CRITERIA FOR DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSTICS OF FUNCTIONAL ANGULAR BLOCK — LATENT STAGE OF CLOSED-ANGLE GLAUCOMA ^{[№ 12 ' 2012]}
90 patients with suspected angle-closed glaucoma were examined. Control group consisted of 22 healthy patients without glaucoma, and no serious injuries of eyeball structures. Structural and functional changes in the visual system, characteristic for functional angular block, were revealed. They are significantly different from that of patients with functional angular block. UBM criteria of iridociliary zone structure in patients with functional angular block were determined. Functional angular block is an independent pathological status of visual system and is a latent stage of angle-closed glaucoma.
