New pharmacological technologies attempt to overcome the problems of bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy observed with the topical treatment of ocular diseases. Drug delivery systems are a versatile and effective alternative, as they offer numerous advantages, such as increasing the drug's local residence time, reducing side effects, and possible use as drug delivery scaffolds, parti…
The latest use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) with angiography evaluation (OCTA) has allowed the visualization of the microcirculation in both the retina and the optic nerve head (ONH), as well as its relationship with all retinal layers. OCTA studies have shown a reduction in vascular density in some retinal diseases, including findings of decreased perfusion in patients with glau…
Several products related to the ischemic cascade have been associated with damage to glaucomatous targeted tissues. Cellular and extracellular changes in the trabecular meshwork (TM) and Schlemm's canal result in a routinely observed high intraocular pressure (IOP), by impacting the aqueous humor outflow. The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been involved in the pathological events rela…
Currently, antifibrotic agents (such as 5-Fluoracil and mitomycin C) are used to inhibit the excessive scarring often observed in glaucoma surgeries (trabeculectomy - TREC). However, the use of these agents is associated with severe side effects most related to poor healing, and so, there is a need for the discovery of new, less aggressive, antifibrotic drugs.New compounds, such as phenol…

The evaluation of the central visual field (CVF) should be detailed during the follow-up of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). This region is related to several of the main visual functions required for human interaction with the environment and has a direct impact on quality of life. The papillomacular bundle (PMB) corresponds to the set of bundles of axons of the retinal …
A growing body of evidence regarding the relationship between ocular vascular dysfunction and pathogenesis of glaucoma has been demonstrated by recent studies involving the use of Optical Coherence Tomography with Angiography (OCTA). The algorithms included in the OCTA devices permit the observation of the microcirculation in both the retina and the optic nerve head (ONH). Increased intra…
Several products are related to the ischemic process, and have been associated with glaucomatous damage of specific ocular tissues. In this disease, cellular and extracellular changes in the trabecular meshwork and Schlemm's canal result in a high intraocular pressure by impacting the aqueous humor outflow. The renin-angiotensin system has been involved in the pathological events related …

Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness worldwide. Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is considered the main factor involving in the progression of this disease and is caused by increased aqueous humor outflow resistance. Molecular dysfunction in trabecular meshwork (TM) and Schlemm's canal (SC) cells underlie increased outflow resistance. The regulation of outflow resistance is complic…
