The genetics of primary open angle glaucoma [PDF]

British Journal of Ophthalmology, 1997
The advent of the discipline of molecular genetics over the past decade has led to a dramatic growth in our understanding of the genetics of a myriad of diseases. Ophthalmology has benefited greatly from this new technology, with significant advances in our knowledge about conditions as varied as aniridia and retinitis pigmentosa.1 2 Our understanding ...

Micropulse Trabeculoplasty in Open Angle Glaucoma

Advanced Biomedical Research, 2018
Background: We report the effect of micropulse laser trabeculoplasty (MLT) in the intraocular pressure (IOP) of patients with uncontrolled open-angle glaucoma (OAG).

Pharmacological Management of Open Angle Glaucoma

, 2022
The management of open angle glaucoma hinges on delaying optic nerve damage by maintaining low values of intraocular pressure. This can be achieved with the use of lasers, surgical techniques, or by way of pharmacotherapy. Pharmacological treatments were

THE ROLE OF THE LOCAL AND GENERAL SOMATIC FACTORS FOR THE OPEN-ANGLE GLAUCOMA DEVELOPMENT IN PATIENTS WITH EYE MANIFESTATIONS OF PSEUDOEXFOLIATION SYNDROME

Офтальмохирургия, 2015
Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PES) is one of the best known triggers of glaucoma. The development of the open-angle glaucoma only in some patients with the PES with definite local and general risk factors requires a further research.Purpose.

A genome-wide association study of intra-ocular pressure suggests a novel association in the gene FAM125B in the TwinsUK cohort

, 2014
Glaucoma is a major cause of blindness in the world. To date, common genetic variants associated with glaucoma only explain a small proportion of its heritability. We performed a genome-wide association study of intra-ocular pressure (IOP), an underlying

Biomarkers in primary open angle glaucoma

Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (CCLM), 2012
Abstract Glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness worldwide, is currently defined as a disturbance of the structural or functional integrity of the optic nerve that causes characteristic atrophic changes in the optic nerve, which may lead to specific visual field defects over time.
