Glaucoma
Conditions
Brief summary
It has been reported that among Asian non-glaucomatous, antihypertensive medications were associated with retinal nerve fiber layer and ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer thickness. In order to explore whether antihypertensive medications would influence the neuropathy among glaucomatous population, we designed a cross-sectional observational study to analyze the retinal status among glaucoma patients with use of antihypertensive medication.
Detailed description
we designed a cross-sectional obeservational study to analyze the retinal status among glaucoma patients with use of hyertensive medication.
Interventions
