Advanced Glaucoma Therapeutics

Advanced Glaucoma Therapeutics is a field of ophthalmology that seeks to develop novel treatments for glaucoma. Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness and is caused by an increase in intraocular pressure due to a decrease in the drainage of aqueous humor. Advanced Glaucoma Therapeutics utilizes unique strategies such as topical and subconjunctival medications, laser therapy, or minimally invasive surgery to reduce the intraocular pressure and prevent further vision loss. These treatments can potentially improve the quality of life of those affected by glaucoma and can be used to prevent vision loss in those with early glaucoma.
