Glaucoma as a neurodegenerative disease is a valid working hypothesis to understand
neural injury in the visual system. This paradigm may stimulate the discovery of innovative …

Elevated intraocular pressure in glaucoma can injure retinal ganglion cells and trigger the
spread of disease to connected target vision structures of the brain. Glaucomatous …

Glaucoma, a progressive optic neuropathy characterized by retinal ganglion cell
degeneration and visual field loss, is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide …

During the last 30 years, the definition of glaucoma as been revised to eliminate the
inclusion of intraocular pressure. Open angle glaucoma is the second leading cause of …

Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Although the intraocular
pressure (IOP) has been considered for long time the key point and the only treatable risk …

Treatment of glaucoma continues to be directed at lowering intraocular pressure to decrease
the likelihood of disease progression. In the future intraocular pressure reduction might be …

Glaucoma is a common, complex, multifactorial neurodegenerative disease characterized
by progressive dysfunction and then loss of retinal ganglion cells, the output neurons of the …

Glaucoma is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by loss of retinal ganglion cells
and their axons. Recent evidence suggests that intraocular pressure (IOP) is only one of the …

Glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness in the world, can be challenging to diagnose
because symptoms often appear at late stage of the disease, and challenging to treat …

Glaucoma is the principal cause of irreversible blindness in the world. The disease leads to
progressive optic nerve degeneration with a gradual loss of retinal ganglion cells …
