This study found LOXL2 is upregulated in glaucoma surgery scarring. Targeting LOXL2 with an antibody reduced fibrosis, inflammation, and angiogenesis, suggesting a promising new treatment for preventing surgical failure.

Preoperative topical steroids or NSAIDs improved trabeculectomy outcomes, significantly reducing the need for postoperative needling. Steroids also reduced the need for additional IOP-lowering medication.

Glaucoma patients have elevated VEGF, which promotes surgical scarring. Bevacizumab, an anti-VEGF drug, reduced scarring and improved surgical outcomes in a rabbit model, suggesting a new treatment strategy.

Studying healthy eyes, increased atmospheric pressure (like diving) significantly but modestly decreased intraocular pressure, independent of temperature. This suggests diving might temporarily lower IOP.
