  • Title: [Goblet cells density of bulbar conjunctiva after long-term topical antiglaucoma agents].
    Author: Wróblewska E.
    Journal: Klin Oczna; 1999; 101(1):45-7. PubMed ID: 10401215.
    Abstract:
    AIM: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of long-term topical antiglaucoma therapy on goblet cells density of the bulbar conjunctiva. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Conjunctiva impression cytology specimens from 59 glaucoma patients and 30 healthy people were assessed quantitatively by light microscopy. Patients with glaucoma were on a stable regimen of one (beta-blocker alone) or two (beta-blocker with miotic) topically administered medications for a minimum 1-year. RESULTS: The results show statistically significant decrease in goblet cells associated with number of antiglaucoma drugs and duration of treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Long-term topical antiglaucoma treatment decrease goblet cells population of bulbar conjunctiva.
