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 is one of the leading causes of vision impairment worldwide. In order to further
understand the molecular pathobiology of this disease and to develop better therapies …

Purpose To compare the diagnostic abilities of the vessel densities in optic nerve head
(ONH), peripapillary, and macular regions measured using optical coherence tomography …

PURPOSE: To uncover risk factors for the highly variable individual rates of progression in
cases of untreated normal-tension glaucoma. METHODS: Visual field data were assembled …

Evidence has gradually emerged that there is vascular insufficiency in the optic nerve head
(ONH) in both anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) and glaucomatous optic …

Nitric oxide (NO) is widely recognized to be quite an important intercellular messenger in the
cardiovascular and nervous systems or immunological reactions, including that in the eye …

PURPOSE: To examine the relationship between open-angle glaucoma (OAG) and retinal
vessel diameter among baseline participants in the Blue Mountains Eye Study. DESIGN …

Unanticipated, novel hypothesis on nitric oxide (NO) radical, an inorganic, labile, gaseous
molecule, as a neurotransmitter first appeared in late 1989 and into the early 1990s, and …

Despite the critical impact of glaucoma on global blindness, its aetiology is not fully
characterised. Elevated intraocular pressure is highly associated with glaucomatous optic …

Objective To evaluate the effect of optic nerve circulation, using color Doppler imaging (CDI),
on the progression of visual field damage in primary open-angle glaucoma. Methods The …
