Glaucoma Research
There is considerable research in an attempt to identify other
factors that may contribute to glaucoma. The blood supply to the
optic nerve, the concentration of glutamate (an amino acid) and
the presence of free radicals may all have a role. As this
research unfolds, our options of treatment will expand.
