Abstract

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases in which progressive damage to the ocular nerves may cause retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death. Worldwide glaucoma is a leading cause of avoidable blindness. Intraocular pressure (IOP) is considering to be the main identified cause of danger so far, and lowering intraocular pressure is the only recognized technique for inhibiting disease progression. Furthermore, blood vessels and genetic components of glaucoma are considered additional risk factors. In order to realize the potential progress of glaucoma treatment, new treatment strategies and ambitious goals are constantly being developing. These treatments will provide specific tissue goals to reduce IOP and ensure neuroprotective effects on RGCs. Consequently, physicians can shortly have an expanded range of medical choices to choose from, coupled with therapies that are more successful. Therefore, this study has reviewed the recent studies that were conducted on cellular mechanisms of glaucoma treatment.
