Although gene-specific or molecular-specific therapies would be ideal, in reality numerous conditions lead to the final common pathway of elevated IOP. A general approach to lowering展开更多

Previous studies have examined eyes in which laser did not lower IOP, or examined only the region of the laser burn itself. Methods: 20 autopsy eyes from donors with either POAG or PEX glaucoma that had LTP with lowering of IOP were studied. An additional展开更多
