Journal ArticleDOI
Diurnal Intraocular Pressure in Untreated Exfoliation and Primary Open-angle Glaucoma
TL;DR: Significant fluctuation in the diurnal curve of the IOP distinguishes exfoliation glaucoma from POAG and may be an important factor in predicting any subsequent poor response to medical therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ursula Schlötzer-Schrehardt,Jürgen Lommatzsch,Michael Küchle,Anastasios G. P. Konstas,Gottfried O. H. Naumann +4 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that complex changes in the local MMP-TIMP balance and reduced MMP activity in aqueous humor may promote the abnormal matrix accumulation characteristic of PEX syndrome and may be causally involved in the pathogenesis of both PEX glaucoma and POAG.
Journal ArticleDOI
