These range from visual stimulation experiments that allow us to tap into the specific sets of retinal ganglion cells that are most vulnerable early in the disease, to the evolution of new imaging techniques, largely thanks to Alf Dubra and Vivek Srinivasan's work in those areas, and the ability to image retinal ganglion cells and their component parts like their axons which degenerate very early in glaucoma.

Right now all therapy for glaucoma is directed at lowering eye pressure, but the idea that we could develop therapies and test them in people that really target the retinal ganglion cells and the axon fibers going into the optic nerve — that, I think, is the most exciting new frontier for the premise of restoring vision and protecting vision in glaucoma.
