glaucomatous

The more advanced the glaucomatous process on initial presentation, the lower the target range generally needs to be to prevent further progression.

However, the risk may become even less than 1% per year because of significantly improved techniques for detecting glaucomatous damage.

Glaucomatous phenotypes have been observed in a number of mammalian species, including mice [ 7, 8, 9].

A collection of glaucomatous mouse strains with phenotypic differences would facilitate research to understand the complexity of glaucoma.

The database also contains 262 glaucomatous eyes used by the NFI to discriminate between normal and glaucoma.

The nature of the factors participating in glaucomatous events, particularly those influencing disease progression and modifying disease severity in different individuals, remain largely unknown.

The diurnal variation for normal eyes is between 3 and 6 mmHg and the variation may increase in glaucomatous eyes.

Angle closure-induced ocular hypertension and glaucomatous optic neuropathy may also occur with these anomalies, and modelled in mice.

And for glaucomatous painful blind eye and some cases of glaucoma, cyclocryotherapy for ciliary body ablation could be considered to be performed.

The modern goals of glaucoma management are to avoid glaucomatous damage and nerve damage, and preserve visual field and total quality of life for patients, with minimal side effects.

A 2007 study published in the European Journal of Ophthalmology found that, along with other treatments for glaucoma, adding alpha-tocopherol appeared to help protect the retina from glaucomatous damage.

AKXD28 develop glaucomatous neuropathy AKXD28 mice develop several glaucomatous abnormalities.

Mice are expected to be extremely helpful in characterizing genes and mechanisms that affect IOP or the susceptibility of the optic nerve and retina to glaucomatous damage [ 20 ] .

We previously demonstrated that the glaucomatous strains DBA/2J and AKXD-28/Ty develop elevated IOP with age [ 14 19 ] .

Instead, the Trabectome handpiece opens access to Schlemm's canal by ablating the trabecular meshwork of the eye, therefore reducing intraocular pressure which is major risk factor for glaucomatous vision loss.

In addition to the typical glaucomatous changes mentioned above, an obvious loss of cells in the INL occurred in almost all AKXD28 mice 23 months old and older (Table 1, Figure 3c).

GTM66 cells were chosen for this study based on their ability to grow and transfect well and are a glaucomatous TM cell line derived from a 92-year-old female donor [ 11 17 ] .

Studies estimate that 3-6 million people in the United States alone, including 4-10% of the population older than 40 years, have intraocular pressures of 21 mm Hg or higher, without detectable signs of glaucomatous damage using current tests.

Vascular flow and neurodegenerative theories of glaucomatous optic neuropathy have prompted studies on various neuroprotective therapeutic strategies, including nutritional compounds, some of which may be regarded by clinicians as safe for use now, while others are on trial.

Studies with human eyes have previously reported an increase in vitreous glutamate levels from approximately 10 μM in non-glaucomatous eyes to 23 μM in glaucomatous eyes [ 24].

The occurrence of glaucomatous damage in individuals without high IOP and the benefit of lowering IOP in some of these individuals further suggest multiple factors determine an individual's susceptibility to pressure-induced damage [ 6].

Although the effect of age has not been thoroughly assessed in other strains, no obvious age-related differences have been identified in other strains analyzed at multiple ages except for the glaucomatous DBA/2J and AKXD-28/Ty strains [ 14 19 ] .

As a result of his campimetric tests he discovered a small glaucomatous scotoma that was to become known as a "Bjerrum scotoma", which is a visual field defect that goes by several other names, such as "sickle scotoma", "arcuate scotoma" or "scimitar scotoma".
