Pharmacodynamic equivalence study of two preparations of eye drops, containing dorzolamide in healthy volunteers [PDF]
Introduction: Dorzolamide 20mg/ml eye drops (dorzolamide hydrochloride (CAS: 120279-96-1)) is a topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitor indicated for the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular ...

The effectiveness of early lens extraction with intraocular lens implantation for the treatment of primary angle-closure glaucoma (EAGLE): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial [PDF]
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness. Although primary open-angle glaucoma is more common, primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) is more likely to result in irreversible blindness.

Targeting Diet and Exercise for Neuroprotection and Neurorecovery in Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness worldwide. In glaucoma, a progressive dysfunction and death of retinal ganglion cells occurs, eliminating transfer of visual information to the brain. Currently, the only available therapies target the lowering of

Personalizing Intraocular Pressure
Determining target intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucoma patients is multifaceted, requiring attention to many different factors such as glaucoma type, severity of disease, age, race, family history, corneal thickness and hysteresis, and initial IOP.

Endocannabinoid metabolism and transport as targets to regulate intraocular pressure
Cannabinoids are part of an endogenous signaling system found throughout the body, including the eye. Hepler and Frank showed in the early 1970s that plant cannabinoids can lower intraocular pressure (IOP), an effect since shown to occur via cannabinoid CB1 and GPR18 receptors. Endocannabinoids are synthesized and metabolized enzymatically.
