Impact of combined surgery on the MUC5AC levels in patients with glaucoma and cataract

Abstract

AIM:To investigate the effects of the MUC5AC levels and ocular function of the patients with glaucoma and cataract with combined surgery. METHODS: Twenty-eight patients treated with glaucoma and cataract combined surgery were chosen as the observation group from December 2011 to June 2014 in our hospital, and other 28 cases of glaucoma and cataract did not undergo surgical treatment were selected as the control group, 30 healthy subjects were as healthy control group. the MUC5AC level and ocular surface score of the three subjects before surgery 1d, after 3 and 6mo were compared.RESULTS: The NUC5AC of the two groups of patients was significantly lower than that of the healthy control group before surgery(PPPPPPCONCLUSION: To treat the patients with glaucoma and cataract with combined surgery, the level of MUC5AC can temporary decrease. Ocular function score can temporary increase in, but after 3mo, it can be gradually improved.
