To assess intraocular pressure changes among glaucoma patients on systemic antihypertensive and antihistaminic drugs.
Changes in intraocular pressure in glaucomatous patients with narrow angle may elicit attacks of angle closure glaucoma. In this study we aim to assess changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) among glaucomatous patients on systemic antihypertensive and antihistaminic drugs.
