The authors deal with the meaning of the terms glaucosis and hypochyma, in the texts of ancient Greek and Byzantine medical writers. The analysis of these texts shows us that the meanings of these terms do not correspond to the modern ones. In the texts the term glaucosis corresponds to the modern cataract, and the term hypochyma to the pathological formation of a kind of membrane which appears in the space of the pupil, due to coagulation of a fluid.
作者探讨了古希腊和拜占庭医学作家文本中“青光眼”和“晶状体膜”这两个术语的含义。对这些文本的分析向我们表明，这些术语的含义与现代含义并不相符。在这些文本中，“青光眼”一词对应现代的白内障，“晶状体膜”一词对应一种因液体凝固而出现在瞳孔区域的膜状病理结构。
