Изменения глазной поверхности после различных видов антиглаукомных операций

This review summarizes the results of studies dedicated to analyzing the ocular surface condition and the patients’ quality of life after filtration surgery (mainly sinus trabeculectomy). Intraocular pressure is the only modifiable factor in the treatment of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Usually POAG treatment starts with antihypertensive eye drops, the components and active substances of which can affect the ocular surface, and lead to iatrogenic dry eye syndrome (DES). The symptoms of DES impair the quality of life of glaucoma patients and reduce adherence to treatment. It is worth noting that advanced stages of the disease require surgical treatment, which also effects the ocular surface.
