title: [Immunological prognostication of the risk of cataract development after glaucoma surgery].
abstract: AntiDNA antibodies in the serum and lacrimal fluid are reliably more often detected by enzyme immunoassay in glaucoma patients with signs of lens opacity than in those with transparent lens. The presence of antibodies to denaturated DNA in the serum and/or lacrimal fluid may serve as the prognostic criterion of a high risk of cataract development and progress after antiglaucoma surgery. The informative periods for immunological examinations if the period before the operation and 3 months after it.
