[Assessment of visual function under treatment with topical antiglaucoma agents and systemic vasodilators. Clinical study on glaucoma patients]. / Evaluarea functiei vizuale sub tratament cu topice antiglaucomatoase si vasodilatatoare sistemice. Studiu clinic pe loturi de pacienti cu glaucom, asistati in Clinica a II-a Oftalmologie, Spitalul Clinic de Urgente Prof. Dr. N. Oblu Iasi.

UNLABELLED: The authors present some observations regarding the use of topical anti-glaucoma therapy and systemic vasodilators. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study was carried out on a series of 996 glaucoma patients, of which 54.1% with primary open-angle glaucoma, 5.7% closed-angle glaucoma, and 17.6% with normal intraocular pressure. RESULTS: Intraocular pressure and visual field were assessed after the use of such therapeutic methods as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (dorzolamide) and prostaglandin (latanoprost) and dorzolamide (cosopt) association. CONCLUSIONS: The favorable progression of glaucoma could be improved by using new etiopathogenic mechanisms and treatment approaches.
