Does trabeculectomy improve Vessel Response Measured by Dynamic Vessel Analysis ( DVA ) in Glaucoma Patients?
POAG patients with progressive disease and impaired vascular regulation profit from IOP lowering trabeculectomy concerning vascular reactivity and dilative reserve, indicating a possible improvement of retinal perfusion following effective IOP control. Future studies with long-term follow-up must determine the clinical importance of these findings for the treatment of glaucoma patients.
About half the decisions to hospitalize were considered hard to make. Only when there is better insight into the effects of hospitalisation on patient functioning and quality of life will it be possible to determine correctness and professional obviousness of such decisions.
