Conjunctival structure of glaucomatous eyes treated with anti-glaucoma eye drops: a cross-sectional study using anterior segment optical coherence tomography.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To determine the effect of various factors to the preservation rate of the conjunctival layer borderlines of glaucomatous eyes treated with anti-glaucoma eye drops.

Methods

Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) images of the bulbar conjunctiva of 328 eyes were analyzed with and without anti-glaucoma eye drops to quantify the preservation rates of the conjunctival layer borderlines.

Results

More anti-glaucoma eye drops and a longer duration of administration were associated with lower preservation rates of the borderlines between both the conjunctival stroma/Tenon's capsule (P < 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively) and Tenon's capsule/sclera (P < 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively). Prostaglandin analogs and fixed combinations of β-blockers/pro
