Relevant factors: Age, intraocular pressure (IOP), Number of Glaucoma Medications, Axial Length (AL), Anterior Chamber Depth (ACD), Lens Thickness (LT), Vitreous Chamber Depth (VCD) and Choroidal Thickness in the Macular Region (CT)

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-1, MCP-3, macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC), macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1β, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)

Correlation coefficient (ρ) and P values are calculated by Spearman’s correlation
