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.

Lysyl Oxidases in the Trabecular Meshwork [PDF]
Journal of Glaucoma, 2014 The mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) play an important role in maintaining cellular function and overall tissue homeostasis. Emerging evidence suggests that biomechanical modifications of the ECM may be initiators and/or drivers of disease, exemplified by increased tissue stiffness.

Journal of Agromedicine and Medical Sciences (AMS), 2017 In primary open angle glaucoma, decrease of hyaluronic acid level is related to extracellular matrix deposition of trabecular meshwork. Extracellular matrix deposition will increase humor aqueous outflow resistance which in turn increase the intraocular ...

Association between Myopia, Biometry and Occludable Angle: The Jiangning Eye Study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Myopia subjects usually have long axial lengths and are predisposed to deep anterior chamber depths and open angles. Jiangning eye study is a randomized, population based study in Shanghai to determine whether myopia has an effect on the prevalence of ...

Trabecular meshwork gene expression after selective laser trabeculoplasty.
PLoS ONE, 2011 BackgroundTrabecular meshwork and Schlemm's canal are the tissues appointed to modulate the aqueous humour outflow from the anterior chamber. The impairment of their functions drives to an intraocular pressure increase.

Morphological changes in the iridocorneal angle and their relationship with intraocular pressure after infantile cataract surgery [PDF]
International Journal of Ophthalmology, 2022 AIM: To evaluate morphological changes in the iridocorneal angle after pediatric cataract surgery. METHODS: Children who underwent primary infantile cataract surgery were included and 64 eyes from 41 children, including 18 with unilateral cataracts (18 ...

Canaloplasty in the Treatment of Open-Angle Glaucoma: A Review of Patient Selection and Outcomes. [PDF]
, 2018 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

Human trabecular meshwork cell volume regulation [PDF]
American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology, 2002 The volume of certain subpopulations of trabecular meshwork (TM) cells may modify outflow resistance of aqueous humor, thereby altering intraocular pressure. This study examines the contribution that Na+/H+, Cl−/HCO[Formula: see text]exchange, and K+-Cl− efflux mechanisms have on the volume of TM cells.
