Introduction : The longterm use of topical antiglaucoma might cause ocular surface instability due to active substance or preservative used. Impression cytology examination may reveal superficial epithelial cells on conjunctiva and cornea, including goblet cells. Goblet cell density decrease is the most important parameter on evaluation of ocular surface disorder. Objective : This study was to understand ocular surface remodeling due to active substance of topical antiglaucoma with impression cytology examination among the patient prior and 3 months after therapy. Methods : This was a randomized controlled trial study with single blind masking. A total of 45 eyes from 31 patients were used as subject and distributed onto three groups treatment, which were timolol maleat 0.5%, latanoprost 0.005%, and latanoprost-timolol maleat fixed combination. All topical antiglaucoma in this study were preservative free. Result : There were differences between 3 groups in goblet cells density after 3 months therapy (p=0,030). Goblet cell density in timolol group was lower than latanoprost (p=0,041) and fixed combination (p=0,045). There was no significantly difference between 3 groups in conjunctival epithelial metaplasia degree (p=0,706) and cell to cell contact degree in corneal epithelial cells (p=0.66) after 3 months therapy. Conjunctival epithelial metaplasia degree were increased among group of timolol (p=0,008) and fixed combination (p=0,046). Conclusion : Timolol maleat 0,5% caused lower goblet cell density after 3 months therapy compare with latanoprost and fixed combination. There was no significantly difference in conjunctival epithelial metaplasia and cell to cell contact degree in corneal epithelial cells among these glaucoma treatment groups.

Background. Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is a rare ocular surface inflammatory disease that affects mainly boys in the first decade of life. Clinical observations show that it generally regresses spontaneously with the onset of puberty, but therapeutic measures must be taken before then to control the course of the disease. Purpose.To evaluate the role of the lacrimal mucous component in VKC patients and compare tear ferning test (TFT) modifications, MUC5AC levels in tears, and density of conjunctival goblet cells to clinical characteristics before and after treatment with cyclosporine A (CY) in eye drops. Methods. Forty-seven patients affected by VKC and 30 healthy subjects aged between 3 and 16 years of life were enrolled. All individuals were submitted to complete eye examination and skin prick test (SPT) for the most common allergens. Then, they were subjected to collection of the tears and to impression cytology to evaluate TFT, MUC5AC levels, and conjunctival goblet cell density, before and after treatment with CY in eye drops. Results. Comparing the VKC group vs. the control group at baseline, a significant alteration in the degree of the ferns was found, indicating a pathological condition of the lacrimal mucous layer. In addition, an increased number of goblet cells were observed in the patients. The concentration of lacrimal secretory mucins (MUC5AC) did not show significant differences between the 2 groups. Patients treated with CY have reported improvements of some signs and symptoms of disease activity, including TFT, and a tendency of conjunctival goblet cell density to normalise. Conclusions. The results obtained demonstrated for the first time a significant alteration of the lacrimal mucin component evaluated in the VKC group, and an improvement of the latter after CY therapy.
