Clinical and immunological evaluation of pathological changes in the organ of vision in patients with open-angle glaucoma

The purpose is to perform clinical assessment of neurodegenerative and inflammatory changes in the visual organ in patients with advanced open-angle glaucoma and to identify the relationship between the degree of neurodegenerative and inflammatory changes. Material and Methods. Prospective examination of 26 patients with advanced open-angle glaucoma and 22 patients without changes in eye hydrodynamics with determination of TGF-p and MMR-9 concentrations in lacrimal and anterior chamber aqueous humor. Results. There was a statistically significant decrease in the concentration of MMR-9 in patients with glaucoma by 1.62 times in the lacrimal fluid (p
