There are many unanswered questions on the relation of intraocular pressure to glaucoma
development and progression. IOP itself cannot be distilled to a single, unifying value …

Lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) remains the only proven method of preventing the onset
and progression of glaucoma, yet the role of IOP in the disease remains controversial. This …

The optic nerve head (ONH) is of particular interest from a biomechanical perspective
because it is a weak spot within an otherwise strong corneo-scleral envelope. The lamina …

Until recently, the evidence that lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) protects the optic nerve
from glaucomatous damage was weak. Several randomized controlled trials have provided …

Intraocular pressure (IOP) is a critical risk factor in glaucoma, and the available evidence
derived from experimental studies in primates and rodents strongly indicates that the site of …

The biomechanical environment within the optic nerve head (ONH) is complex and is likely
directly involved in the loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in glaucoma. Unfortunately, our …

Understanding mechanisms of glaucomatous optic nerve damage is essential for
developing effective therapies to augment conventional pressure-lowering treatments. This …

In a series of previous publications we have proposed a framework for conceptualizing the
optic nerve head (ONH) as a biomechanical structure. That framework proposes important …

Although the glaucomas comprise a relatively common group of blinding diseases, only a
small percentage of people actually develop glaucoma, even at advanced age. Since …
