Popis: Glaucoma is a socially significant disease and ranks first among the causes of visual impairment and blindness. Glaucoma is a chronic disease with progressive course, and the entire treatment and diagnostic process is associated with the need for constant monitoring of the structural and functional components of the visual system to assess the progression of glaucomatous optic neuropathy. With adequately chosen treatment tactics, it is possible to stabilize the glaucomatous process and successfully reverse the structural and functional changes thanks to the links between functional defects of the visual fields and topographic damage in the optic nerve with the stage of the disease. This statement emphasizes the need to choose the correct treatment tactics, as well as to closely monitor the structural and functional characteristics of patients with glaucoma. In this regard, the issue of studying the safety and effectiveness of various glaucoma surgeries depending on observation time remains relevant.
