Thygesen J. Glaucoma therapy: preservative-free for all?. Clin Ophthalmol. 2018;12:707-717. Published 2018 Apr 13. doi:10.2147/OPTH.S150816 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5907786/ Conclusion: There are a number of risk factors that can predispose to ocular surface disease (OSD) among glaucoma patients: long treatment duration, age, sex, working and leisure environments, multiple medical comorbidities and their associated medication, and ethnicity. In such patients, it seems reasonable to avoid an additional risk of OSD caused by exposing them to the preservatives in their glaucoma therapy. |
