New trends in glaucoma pharmacotherapy
Main Article Content
Abstract
Despite many methods of treating glaucoma, we still cannot affect all causes of this disease. Therefore, many substances with different mechanisms of action are investigated. Recently, 3 drugs have been introduced to the treatment: citicoline, netarsudil and latanoprost bunod, which will be discussed in this article.
