  2. aData are given as mean ± SD
  3. bEach glaucoma group differed significantly from controls, but there was no significant difference between the glaucoma groups
  4. cEach glaucoma group differed significantly from controls. There was also a significant difference between eyes with mild and advanced glaucoma
  5. dEach glaucoma group differed significantly from controls. There were also significant differences between eyes with mild and advanced glaucoma, and between eyes with moderate and advanced glaucoma
