摘要: Noninvasive medical imaging techniques have high potential in the field of ocular research. Angle closure glaucoma is a major disease causing blindness and possible way detection examination anterior chamber angle eyes. Here, simple optical method for evaluation angle-closure proposed illustrated. The light propagation from region associated with iridocorneal to exterior eye considered analytically. design gel assisted probe prototype carried out performed on an model.
