The aim of a filtrating surgery is, on the one hand, to reduce the intraocular pressure (IOP) which is the fluid pressure in the eye and, and on the other, to preserve the function of the eye.
Papers includes the age and racial variations, risk factors for open-angle glaucoma, risk factors in various isolated populations, mechanisms of intraocular pressure elevation, genetics of glaucoma (including susceptibility and myocilin mutations), molecular and cellular responses in the eye to glaucoma, ocular tissue and psycho-physiological responses, current and successful models, and therapeutic modalities.
Research recently published in Molecular Vision demonstrates that the natural dietary supplement Mirtogenol--a combination of Mirtoselect standardized bilberry extract, and Pycnogenol French maritime pine bark extract--may lower high intraocular pressure (IOP), significantly reducing the likelihood of developing glaucoma.
