This study found higher follow-up IOP correlated with faster visual field progression in high-tension glaucoma, while larger IOP fluctuations correlated with faster progression in normal-tension glaucoma. Monitoring both is crucial for prognosis.

Cataract surgery in nanophthalmic eyes significantly deepens the anterior chamber and widens the angle, potentially lowering intraocular pressure. This suggests a beneficial role for glaucoma management.

This study mapped ECM components and myocilin in the eye's drainage meshwork, finding myocilin localizes to specific collagen and elastic fiber sheaths, which are altered in glaucoma and aging.

This study found myocilin associates with microfibrillar structures in normal eye drainage tissue, which are implicated in primary open-angle glaucoma, suggesting its role in outflow resistance.

Researchers found myocilin, a glaucoma-related protein, interacts with itself and a muscle protein (RLC). This suggests myocilin's role in the eye's drainage system involves muscle-like functions, impacting glaucoma.
