Decreasing Medication of Intraocular Pressure in Open Angle Glaucoma
Abstract:The primary open-angle glaucomas (POAG) are multi-factorial, chronic, progressive and bilateral optic neuropathies characterized by morphological changes at the optic nerve head and retinal nerve fiber layer in the absence of other ocular disease or congenital anomalies. These changes are associated with progressive retinal ganglion cells death and visual field loss. Simultaneously with the nerve fiber layer loss occurs an activation of glial cells and tissue reshaping which lead to the characteristic excavati… Show more
