Intraocular pressure variability in patients who reached target intraocular pressure [PDF]
To assess the intraocular pressure (IOP) variability in patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) under clinical treatment who reached an established target pressure based on isolated office readings.Retrospective analysis of 65 eyes from 65 POAG patients under clinical therapy who submitted to modified diurnal tension curve (mDTC) (measurements

CORRELATIONS BETWEEN SUCCESSFUL THERAPY AND ANXIETY LEVEL OF POST OPERATIVE GLAUCOMA PATIENTS
Background : Glaucoma is a disease that can cause damage to the optic nerve. High intraocular pressure is a major risk factor for glaucoma. The main goal of treating glaucoma is to control the disease progression by reducing intraocular pressure to the ...

Systems genetics identifies a role for Cacna2d1 regulation in elevated intraocular pressure and glaucoma susceptibility [PDF]
Glaucoma is a multi-factorial blinding disease in which genetic factors play an important role. Elevated intraocular pressure is a highly heritable risk factor for primary open angle glaucoma and currently the only target for glaucoma therapy.

Canaloplasty in the Treatment of Open-Angle Glaucoma: A Review of Patient Selection and Outcomes. [PDF]
Canaloplasty is a relatively new non-penetrating surgery for the reduction of intraocular pressure in patients affected by glaucoma. The technique uses a microcatheter to perform a 360 º cannulation of Schlemm's canal and leaves in place a tension suture

Biomechanical, ultrastructural, and electrophysiological characterization of the non-human primate experimental glaucoma model. [PDF]
Laser-induced experimental glaucoma (ExGl) in non-human primates (NHPs) is a common animal model for ocular drug development. While many features of human hypertensive glaucoma are replicated in this model, structural and functional changes in the ...
