Corneal epithelium and limbal region alterations due to glaucoma medications evaluated by anterior segment optic coherence tomography: a case-control study

Abstract

Using at least one glaucoma drug caused limbal area injury, changed ocular surface measurements, and significantly reduced the limbal epithelial thickness where the stem cells reside. The limbal epithelial thickness measurement by AS-OCT seems to be an innovative, non-invasive, and promising technique for detecting and staging corneal damage in topical glaucoma therapy.
