Abstract
The article presents the clinical case of a 22-year follow-up of a patient with early glaucoma whose visual functions were stabilized during the first 12 years after trabeculectomy and during the next 10 years of therapeutic treatment due to poor compliance the disease progressed to advanced glaucoma. As a result, in 2021 there were pronounced changes in the visual field of the left eye, the main cause, probably, was a vascular accident against the background of low perfusion pressure and uncompensated IOP. After a thorough analysis and scrupulous selection of eyedrops, IOP was compensated with laser and instillation of Dortimol Antiglau, which showed the best results of tolerability and achievement of tolerant pressure. This article presents data from clinical and instrumental studies and analyzes factors reflecting the importance of assessing the level of compliance in reducing the glaucoma progression.
