Inclusion Criteria: * Men and women aged over 18 years * Diagnosed primary open angle glaucoma * Visual field defects and optic nerve head appearance characteristic for glaucoma * Angle closure predisposition as evidenced from gonioscopy. * Neovascularization in the anterior chamber angle * pseudo-exfoliation glaucoma as evidenced from slit lamp examination * No cataract surgery. * No glaucoma surgery * No degenerative changes in the retina in funduscopy after mydriasis Exclusion Criteria: * -previous glaucoma surgery * Previous cataract surgery * Presence of any abnormalities preventing reliable measurements * Ocular inflammation and ocular disease interfering with the study * Corneal, macula, and other corneal disease. * No fixation Funds lesions such as diabetic retinopathy or retinal detachment.
