ANTIOXIDANTS IN THE COMPLEX TREATMENT OF PRIMARY OPEN-ANGLE GLAUCOMA

Purpose:  to evaluate the results of complex treatment of primary open-angle glaucoma. Material and methods. We observed 61 patients (61 eyes). The patients were divided into 2 groups depending on the treatment. Group 1 patients (31 patients, 31 eyes) underwent complex treatment (surgical, drug, physiotherapy). Surgical treatment consisted of sinustrabeculectomy and posterior trepanation of the sclera, medication — subconjunctival injection of Emoxipin 10 mg, 0.5 ml for 10 days, and physiotherapy — laser stimulation of the optic nerve. The control group consisted of 30 patients (30 eyes) who underwent sinustrabeculectomy and posterior trepanation of the sclera. Conclusion: The results of complex treatment of patients of the 1st group showed improvement of visual functions and stabilization of the glaucomatous process after 1 year in 87% of cases, while in patients of the 2nd group - in 68% of cases.
