The Effects of Cannabidiol on Aqueous Humor Outflow and Trabecular Meshwork Cell Signaling
Cells, 2022 Intraocular pressure (IOP) is regulated primarily through aqueous humor production by ciliary body and drainage through uveoscleral and trabecular meshwork (TM) tissues.

Rare diseases leading to childhood Glaucoma. epidemiology, pathophysiogenesis, and management [PDF]
, 2015 Noteworthy heterogeneity exists in the rare diseases associated with childhood glaucoma. Primary congenital glaucoma is mostly sporadic; however, 10% to 40% of cases are familial. CYP1B1 gene mutations seem to account for 87% of familial cases and 27% of

Expression profiling of ascorbic acid–related transporters in human and mouse eyes [PDF]
, 2016 PURPOSE: Ascorbic acid (AsA) is an important antioxidant in the eye. Ascorbic acid is usually transported by sodium-dependent AsA transporters (SVCTs), and dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) by glucose transporters (GLUTs).

A large multi-ethnic genome-wide association study identifies novel genetic loci for intraocular pressure. [PDF]
, 2017 Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major risk factor for glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness. IOP heritability has been estimated to up to 67%, and to date only 11 IOP loci have been reported, accounting for 1.5% of IOP variability.
