Clinical and immunological criterea of a primary openangle glaucoma course prognosis
It is surveyed 119 patients with a primary open-angle glaucoma in which a local cytokine profi le disturbances are revealed. Thus intensity of disturbances corresponds to severity of a clinical picture of the disease. Clinical and immunological criteria of a current primary open-angle glaucoma prognostication are worked out, such as a reduced volume of a neuroretinal rim lower than 0,16 mm3, an increased concentration TNFα of a tear over 181,5 pg/ml and decreased level of IL-4 of a tear less than 21,6 pg/ml are unfavourable prognostic signs.
