background: glaucoma is one of the most common causes of blindness and is usually associated with elevated intraocular pressure. in patients with primary open angle glau-coma the number of trabecular meshwork cells is decreased. death of the trabecular meshwork cells may be a result of apoptosis. objective: to investigate the aqueous humor levels of soluble fas (sfas) and fas-ligand (sfasl) in ...

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...
