DOI: 10.1038/s41433-019-0435-x
Abstract: BackgroundThe etiology of aphakic glaucoma is unclear. It has been suggested that remaining lens epithelium releases cytokines transducing trabecular meshwork cells. Therefore, we compared two cohorts of children undergoing lensectomy. In cohort 1, the entire… read more here.
