Characterization of the Microbial Profile in Tears of Patients with Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma: Results from a Pilot Study

2025-08-12

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>This pilot study aimed to characterize the tear microbiota in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and compare to healthy controls. Tear samples from 22 participants (10 with POAG, 12 controls), matched by age and sex, were analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing to assess microbial diversity and taxonomic composition. While alpha diversity showed no significant differences, beta...
