Brief summary
To assess intraocular pressure changes among glaucoma patients on systemic antihypertensive and antihistaminic drugs.
Detailed description
Changes in intraocular pressure in glaucomatous patients with narrow angle may elicit attacks of angle closure glaucoma. In this study we aim to assess changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) among glaucomatous patients on systemic antihypertensive and antihistaminic drugs.
Interventions
Patients with narrow angle glaucoma and on systemic antihypertensive drugs.
DRUGAntihistaminics
Patients with narrow angle glaucoma and on systemic antihistaminic drugs.
