Research into Glaucoma

Current research into glaucoma is focused on:

• Optical coherence tomography of the optic nerve, retinal ganglion cells, and the blood vessels of the optic nerve and retina.
• Study of filtering blebs using imaging techniques (optical coherence tomography, confocal microscopy).
• Genetic factors associated with glaucoma and response to treatments.
• Inflammatory factors involved in uveitic glaucoma.
• 24-hour intraocular pressure monitoring.
• Effectiveness of new drainage devices.
• Real-world data and knowledge-based health systems.
• Use of artificial intelligence for early detection of glaucoma.
