In the ophthalmologist's point of view--there are no indications for interruption or section caesarean in patients with above mentioned ophthalmologic diseases.
In Latanoprost-treated subjects, a significant drop in intraocular pressure was observed after 1 week. However, ocular perfusion and contrast sensitivity did not change during therapy. This might be due to an effective autoregulation in healthy volunteers.
The lower pulsatile ocular blood flow in the more affected eye in patients with asymmetric glaucoma could be the lateralizing factor in these patients, and suggests an influence of hemodynamic factors in the pathogenesis of glaucoma.
Complications after ETE are similar to those after filtering surgery. Postoperative intraocular pressure dip after ETE in most eyes was not as pronounced as after goniotrepanation or trabeculectomy, and postoperative complications were all reversible. 45% of the eyes again needed antiglaucomatous drugs after one month and 42% after 3 months. A prospective long-term study has to verify the success respectively the complications of ETE.
