Abstract

Purpose: Contribution of oxidative stress in various ocular disorders is known. In our study, the role of oxidative stress in patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and senile cataract (SC) was investigated. For this purpose, the products of free radical metabolism and activities of antioxidant enzymes in blood plasma and aqueous humor were measured.
