Ocular lubricant use in medically and surgically treated glaucoma: A retrospective longitudinal analysis
Clinical Ophthalmology Aug 11, 2017
Iyer JV, et al. – The goal of this paper was to investigate the incidence of topical lubricant use as a surrogate marker for underlying ocular surface disease (OSD), in medically and surgically treated glaucoma patients.

A link was found between mitomycin C (MMC)–augmented trabeculectomy with an even higher incidence of ocular lubricant use.
