Abstract

Objectives: to evaluate dry eye syndrome in glaucoma patients with IOP controlled by eye drops and some factors influencing on dry eye syndrome in glaucoma patients with IOP controlled by eye drops. Subjects and method: The study was performed on 30 eyes (16 patients) who were diagnosed with glaucoma and IOP is being adjusted with lowering pressure eye drops. Result: The study results showed that the percentage of patients with dry eyes after using lowering eye pressure drops was 90% with 30% being Nhẹ dry eye condition, 36.7% being Trung bình and 23.3% being serious stage. In addition, age, sex, preservation (BAK and Poly-quad) in medication and types of anti-glaucoma medication are related to dry eye condition of the above group of eyes. Thus, dry eye is very common in glaucoma patients being controlled with ocular pressure lowering drops and is influenced by a variety of factors
