Abstract

Purpose. Current concepts and future perspectives for therapy and prevention of dry eye in glaucoma patients are described. Methods. Own clinical and experimental findings and PubMed based literature search (keywords: glaucoma and dry eye). Results. Ocular surface disease is the main long-term complication of glaucoma therapy. Prevention of ocular surface inflammation by preservative-free antiglaucoma eye drops and concurrent dry eye therapy are important Conclusions. It is mandatory to treat dry eye prior to and during glaucoma therapy. Preservative-free glaucoma medication can help to ameliorate the problem.
