Principal Investigator 

Robert Ritch, M.D.

Objective

To detect differences in the iris thickness in patients on systemic alpha adrenergic blockers using UBM and SL-OCT

Eligibility

Patients on Flomax and that have used it in the past (for at least 6 months). Exclusion on Patients with any disease that could change iris morphology (uveitis, PDS, XFS, trauma...) or previous intraocular surgery.

Enrollment Goal

50 patients/ 50 controls (OPEN)
