[Side effects of glaucoma treatments].
The high prevalence of glaucoma leads to a very high number of treatments. It is therefore not surprising to see a huge number of side effects, whatever treatment modalities are used. In this article, we describe the iatrogenicity of the treatments commonly used in the management of glaucoma, namely drugs, laser, and the surgical interventions. Good knowledge of these adverse effects is needed to provide adequate information to patients and to attempt to decrease their occurrence.
