The medical management of glaucoma
South African Family Practice, 2017 Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide. The main characteristic features include optic disc cupping, visual field loss, and in most instances a raised intraocular pressure.

, 2016 Open-angle glaucoma (OAG) is an important cause of irreversible blindness. In OAG, loss of retinal ganglion cells leads to damage of the optic nerve. This causes visual field loss and eventually blindness.

Pharmacogenetics of ophthalmic topical β-blockers [PDF]
, 2008 Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. The primary glaucoma risk factor is elevated intraocular pressure. Topical β-blockers are affordable and widely used to lower intraocular pressure.

Mechanochromic Organic Materials: Molecular Mechanisms and Multidimensional Applications
Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.Mechanochromic (MC) organic materials change color in response to mechanical force. This review elucidates the molecular mechanisms (e.g., aggregation‐induced emission, AIE) and explores their multidimensional applications in sensors, anti‐counterfeiting, biomedical devices, and structural health monitoring, providing a roadmap for future smart ...

Glaucoma and cigarette smoking: a review of narrative reviews [PDF]
, 2016 Background: Glaucoma is an optic neuropathy associated with visual field changes for which high intra-ocular pressure is a major risk factor. Emerging research indicates that modifiable factors, among which the cigarette smoke, besides IOP may be ...

Journal of Biophotonics, EarlyView.Our study demonstrates that UV cross‐linking (CXL) reduces outflow facility while increasing corneal elasticity across IOP levels of 20–40 mmHg, measured using direct manometry and non‐contact optical coherence elastography. These results highlight both parameters as potential indicators for evaluating CXL effectiveness and monitoring keratoconus ...
