When controlled by glaucoma stages, surgery had a negative impact on the QoL only in early glaucoma. Conclusions: Glaucoma surgery is associated with a lower QoL in patients with early glaucoma ...

The model also allowed transitions between any of the 3 non-death health states, but this implicitly assumed that vision loss caused by glaucoma is reversible, which is not clinically plausible. In ...
