Primary open angle glaucoma (OAG) is a multifactorial optic neuropathy characterized by
progressive retinal ganglion cell death and associated visual field loss. OAG is an emerging …

Glaucoma is an optic neuropathy of unknown origin. The most important risk factor for the
disease is an increased intraocular pressure (IOP). Reducing IOP is associated with …

It is widely suspected that tissue ischemia initiates or participates in optic disk damage in
glaucoma. The details are not well delineated. Particularly puzzling is the clear separation of …

Glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy of unknown origin. It has been hypothesized
that a vascular component is involved in glaucoma pathophysiology. This hypothesis has …

Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is a multifactorial disease characterized by
progressive retinal ganglion cell death and visual field loss. It is known that alterations in …

The need of blood flow to different organs varies rapidly over time which is why there is
sophisticated local regulation of blood flow. The term dysregulation simply means that blood …

Open-angle glaucoma (OAG) is characterized by optic nerve fiber atrophy and deterioration
of the visual field, corresponding to damage to the optic nerve head. Intraocular pressure …

Two principal theories for the pathogenesis of glaucomatous optic neuropathy (GON) have
been described—a mechanical and a vascular theory. Both have been defended by various …

Glaucoma remains a major eye illness with unknown etiology. Although elevated intraocular
pressure is clearly a major risk factor, vascular deficits may contribute to initiation and …

Although intraocular pressure (IOP) remains an important risk factor for glaucoma, it is clear
that other factors can also influence disease development and progression. More recently …
