The mechanisms of this cell loss are poorly understood. This study evaluates the effect of benzalkonium-preserved (BAC+) or preservative-free (BAC-) antiglaucoma medications on expression of apoptotic markers expression by cultured human trabecular cells to see whether apoptosis may be one mechanism by which trabecular cells.展开更多
