Glaucoma involves a high risk of losing sight. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet and St. Erik Eye Hospital, among others, have now studied the effects of nicotinamide, the amide of vitamin B₃, on animal and cell models for glaucoma. The study, published in Redox Biology, may be a futu...

(AAV) vectors. Rodriguez-Estevez et al. assess different AAV serotypes in their ability to target the trabecular meshwork—a key target for controlling intraocular pressure which could potentially lead to a gene therapy treatment for glaucoma [1]. They found that AAV2 was most efficient but use...
General practitioners and internists should be aware that topical medications used by patients with glaucoma, including topical β-blockers, for example, may incur significant or even life-threatening adverse effects. Success of treatment can be enhanced by reinforcing the importance of compliance to ...
Currently, the deleterious effects of marijuana outweigh the benefits of its IOP-lowering capacity in most glaucoma patients. Under extremely rare circumstances, a few categories of glaucoma patients may be potential candidates for treatment with medical marijuana. Further studies on alternate routes and...
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible vision loss, and reducing elevated intraocular pressure is currently the only effective clinical treatment. The trabecular meshwork is the main resistance site for aqueous outflow that maintains intraocular pressure. In this study, we transplanted human trabec...
