Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma [PDF]
New England Journal of Medicine, 2009 Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), by far the most common form of glaucoma, currently afflicts more than 2 million Americans, more than half of whom probably don't know they have it. Asymptomatic in the early stages, it gradually and progressively reduces the visual field and leads to blindness if untreated.

Neuroinflammation in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2020 Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is the second leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Increasing evidence suggests oxidative damage and immune response defects are key factors contributing to glaucoma onset. Indeed, both the failure of the trabecular meshwork tissue in the conventional outflow pathway and the neuroinflammation process ...

Etiopathogenesis of primary open-angle glaucoma [PDF]
Vestnik oftal'mologii, 2020 The article reviews literature covering the etiopathogenesis and risk factors for the development of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Currently, this problem is one of the most complex and controversial in ophthalmology. The review considers the main theories: vascular, mechanical (retentional, hydromechanical), dystrophic (theory of primary ...

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 ...

Biomarkers of primary open-angle glaucoma [PDF]
Expert Review of Ophthalmology, 2010 Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is a primary neuronal disease of the optic nerve without a definable cause, and is often associated with increased intraocular pressure. Worldwide, POAG is the second leading cause of blindness; there are 45 million people today with POAG and bilateral blindness is present in 4.5 million of these.

Hypertension in Primary Open Angle Glaucoma
Journal of Nepal Medical Association, 2014 Introduction: The impact of vascular factors in POAG is well known and controversial. Some reports have shown high blood pressure in POAG, some low systolic blood pressure and some described no difference in blood pressure between POAG and controls. However decreased ocular perfusion pressure was found in most of the studies.

Molecular genetics of primary open-angle glaucoma
Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2023 Glaucoma is a series of linked optic diseases resulting in progressive vision loss and total blindness due to the acquired loss of retinal ganglion cells. This harm to the optic nerve results in visual impairment and, ultimately, total blindness if left untreated.
