Objectives: To study the ultrastructure of the trabecular meshwork in human eyes with
corticosteroid-induced glaucoma and to determine whether the changes noted also occur in
the eyes of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) who have been treated with
corticosteroids. Methods: The trabecular meshwork from 5 patients in whom corticosteroid-
induced glaucoma was diagnosed and from 6 patients with POAG who had been treated
with systemic or topical corticosteroids for months to years was investigated with light and …
