All eyes were examined using digital confocal laser\u2010scanning microscopy (HRT II Rostock Cornea Module). The main IVCM outcome measurements were mean density (MMD: cysts\/mm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>) and mean total area (MMA: \u03bcm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>) of the epithelial microcysts.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:\u2002<\/jats:bold> The mean intraocular pressure level (mmHg\u2003\u00b1\u2003SD) was 15.1\u2003\u00b1\u20031.7, 16.3\u2003\u00b1\u20033.1 and 12.6\u2003\u00b1\u20031.8 in healthy, POAG and LTG eyes, respectively.
