I have been working in the field of glaucoma research, on pathophysiology and diagnostics, for the past 18 years, and have become increasingly interested in the use of advanced imaging techniques for characterization of
glaucomatous changes within the
retina and optic nerve head.
The published paper concluded that» «molecular alterations detected in the ocular hypertensive human
retina as opposed to previously detected alterations in human donor
retinas with clinically manifest glaucoma suggest that proteome alterations determine the individual threshold to tolerate the ocular hypertension - induced tissue stress or convert to
glaucomatous neurodegeneration when intrinsic adaptive / protective responses are overwhelmed.»
These proteins, if their roles in neuroprotection in the
retina are fully established in the future by more comprehensive studies, may present novel therapeutic targets in treating retinal disorders including
glaucomatous conditions.»
