Abstract:

The development of therapeutic drugs and methods based on optic neuroprotection is a hot spot in glaucoma. Glaucomatous optic nerve damage involves multifactorial abnormity including neurotrophic factor deprivation, calcium overload and oxidative stresss. To carry out clinical translational researches on optic neuroprotection within a coherent framework are expected to provide novel effective therapeutic tools for glaucoma.
