All investigation is made into the correlation between anterior chamber volume and intra‐ocular pressure. It is suggested that patients can be screened for possible ocular hypertension by measuring their corneal radii and the depth of their anterior chamber. A nomogram shows which combinations of the parameters may lead to ocular hypertension and thus indicates which patients need to be investigated at greater length.
