PRIMARY OPEN-ANGLE GLAUCOMA [PDF]
AJN, American Journal of Nursing, 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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 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.

[Primary open-angle glaucoma]. [PDF]
La Revue de medecine interne, 2020 Primary open-angle glaucoma is a progressive chronic optic neuropathy, typically bilateral, that occurs after the age of 40 years. It is the second leading cause of irreversible blindness in the world. Primary open-angle glaucoma corresponds to a progressive loss of retinal ganglion cell characterized by an excavation of the optic disc associated with ...

MicroRNAs as biomarkers in glaucoma and potential therapeutic targets
Neural Regeneration Research, 2022 Glaucoma is a neurodegenerative disease in which optic nerve damage and visual field defects occur. It is a leading cause of irreversible blindness. Its pathogenesis is largely unknown although several risk factors have been identified, with an increase ...
