ABSTRACT
The authors have studied the efficacy of an association of DHA, vitamin E and vitamin B complex (TROFINERV) in glaucomatous patients. The parameters evaluated were computerized visual field (CVF) and retinal contrast sensitivity (RCS). Thirty chronic simple glaucoma patients in good tensional compensation with local therapy were given TROFINERV oral therapy. The results show significant differences after 90 days of treatment both in the perimetric indices (MD, SF, CPSD; p < 0.05) and in the RCS frequency values (p < 0.05). In the light of the results obtained, the authors consider the use of such association to be a useful support in glaucomatous patient therapy for preventing or delaying the progress of damage.
