Differences in the eyelid and buccal microbiome between open‐angle glaucoma and uveitic glaucoma

Microbiomes have immunoregulatory functions and may be involved in the pathophysiology of eye diseases. However, the effects of microbiomes on uveitic glaucoma (UG) and open-angle glaucoma (OAG) have not been sufficiently investigated. This study analysed differences in eyelid and buccal microbiomes between UG and OAG using metagenomic technology.Eyelid and buccal specimens were collected from 34 UG and 62 OAG patients. The taxonomic composition...
