Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness in the world and is due to the damage of retinal ganglion cell axons. While an abnormally high intraocular pressure (IOP) is the most relevant risk factor for glaucomatous damage, the elderly and persons of African ancestry have a significantly greater tendency for developing glaucoma than younger people and those of European ancestry.

Abstract
Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness in the world and is due to the damage of retinal ganglion cell axons. While an abnormally high intraocular pressure (IOP) is the most relevant risk factor for glaucomatous damage, the elderly and persons of African ancestry have a significantly greater tendency for developing glaucoma than younger people and those of European ancestry.File in questo prodotto:
