Comparative study of the oxidative stress markers and antioxidant profile in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma and healthy subjects

Abstract

Background: Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is the leading cause of irreversible blindness. The serum oxidant/antioxidant profile alteration has been reported in ocular pathologies. The aim of this study was to compare the oxidative stress markers and antioxidant profile in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma and healthy subjects.
