Visual Function Changes After Intraocular Pressure Reduction

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2006-04-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

During the glaucomatous disease process, subpopulations of cells may be dead, damaged or healthy. Visual function changes could be observed due to a recovering of the suffering ganglion cells after the intraocular pressure reduction. This study aims at evaluating the correlation between intraocular pressure reduction and visual function changes in glaucoma patients after using antiglaucoma medications.
