Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease and the second most leading cause of irreversible impaired vision in world, which primarily linked with high intraocular pressure (IOP). The treatment glaucoma currently challenging because innate mechanics ocular barriers that limit penetration ophthalmic drugs. To tackle this, various carriers (inorganic-, polymeric-, hydrogel-, or contact lens–based) special...

The title of Chapter 17 was printed incorrectly as “Aqueous Shunt for Neovascular Glaucoma Implant”, which has been corrected Glaucoma” in the Table Contents, chapter opening page, and running heads throughout chapter.

The literature analysis confirms the interrelationship of thyroid gland pathology and glaucoma. Patients with diffusetoxic goiter (DTG) endemic have an especially high risk developing glaucoma, while those autoimmune thyroiditis face a moderate risk. prevalence primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) in patients over 40 endocrine ophthalmopathy is reliably associated male gender duration disease lon...

Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible vision loss and second blindness worldwide. The rapid transmission SARS-CoV-2virus compelled governments to concentrate their efforts on emergency units treat large number cases that arose due Covid-19 outbreak. As a result, many chronically ill patients were left without access medical care. progression glaucoma in previously diagnosed has been acc...

Design Qualitative study face-to-face semistructured interviews. Transcripts were analysed thematic analysis. Setting Participants recruited UK through an advertisement International Glaucoma Association (now UK) newsletter. Twe...

glaucoma is the second leading cause of irreversible blindness and a neurodegenerative disease with a complex pathogenesis. increasing evidence suggests that oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction have crucial roles in most neurodegenerative diseases such as glaucoma. the conventional clinical treatment for glaucoma is lowering the intraocular pressure (iop). some patients have normal i...

Glaucoma is a disease that affects the optic nerve. This disease, over period of time, can lead to loss vision. Which known as ‘silent thief sight’. There are several methods in which be treated, if detected at an early stage It not possible for any technology, including artificial intelligence, replace doctor. However, it develop model based on classical image processing algorithms, combined w...
