N95 masks reduced retinal vessel density even at rest, and all masks plus exercise lowered vessel density and exercise capacity, suggesting potential long-term retinal impact.

Rat retina RGMA/neogenin expression was studied after optic nerve crush. Higher RGMA levels with lens injury suggest its role in neuroprotection/regeneration, potentially informing glaucoma therapies.

This mouse study on OPA1-ADOA found significant RGC loss and reduced VEP amplitudes, but normal RGC function and ERG. This suggests RGC death, not dysfunction, is key, guiding future ADOA therapies.

DBA/2J mice modeling pigment dispersion showed macrophages, not melanocytes, transfer aberrant melanosomes to block outflow, leading to iris atrophy and glaucoma.

Cortisol improved retinal ganglion cell survival and regeneration after optic nerve injury in rats, and significantly enhanced effects when combined with aurintricarboxylic acid, suggesting a potential neuroprotective glaucoma therapy.
