Methods: A systematic series review of augmented microtrabeculectomies on 15 NTG eyes (15 patients) and 59 eyes (59 patients) with high-tension glaucoma (HTG) at in-展开更多
Purpose: To assess, by flow cytometry, the expressions of inflammatory markers HLA-DR, IL-6 and IL-8, by conjunctival epithelial cells obtained by impression cytology from long-term treated glaucoma patients and norma...Purpose: To assess, by flow cytometry, the expressions of inflammatory markers HLA-DR, IL-6 and IL-8, by conjunctival epithelial cells obtained by impression cytology from long-term treated glaucoma patients and normal subjects. Methods: 64 impression cytology samples were collected from 54 patients: CD 39 patients suffering from POAG and receiving prolonged展开更多
Purpose: to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bimatoprost as alternative to filtration surgery in patients with uncontrolled glaucoma on maximal tolerable medical therapy (MTMT).

Methods: 83 consecutive patients (83 eyes), recruited from the waiting lists for glaucoma surgery of 8 ophthalmic centers. All the patients were scheduled for surgery because of inefficacy of the MTMT, and/or a progressive deterioration of the visual field.展开更多
