Materials and Methods: In this prospective study, pachmetric CCT measurements of 68 eyes with POAG, 39 eyes with PXFG and 37 eyes with PXFS were performed. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured before ultrasonographic pachymetric examinatioa Sitxy-six eyes展开更多

Methods: The patients were separated into two groups. For the Group 1 the 17 eyes of the 14 patients the IOP was higher than 20 mmHg despite to use of antiglaucoma eye drops (1 to 3 eye drops). For the Group 2, 18 eyes of 15 patients the IOP was equal to 20 mmHg or lower and they were not taking any anti-glaucomatous treat-展开更多

However, the exact pathogenetic mechanisms remain unknown. An infection, possibly viral, may be involved. This study aims at evaluating the presence of Herpes Simplex (HSV) and Varicella-Zoster (VZV) viruses in iris and anterior capsule specimens of PEX and non-PEX patients.
