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.
