Experimental therapies for glaucoma
Main Article Content
Abstract
In a review on the basis of the present pathogenesis concept of glaucomatous optic neuropathy six elements of glaucoma future treatment strategy: baroprotection, vasoprotection, neuroprotection, gene therapy, regenerative medicine and immunotherapy, were described. Elements of pharmacogenomics in glaucoma and new drug delivery systems were also presented.
