Abstract

The treatments of glaucoma or ocular hypertension are associated with numerous ocular surface changes. Similarly, these ocular surface modifications directly impact the effectiveness of these therapies. The management of patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension also suffering from dry eye syndrome needs to reduce eye drop-induced toxicity as well as a specific treatment for the ocular surface.
