Can Ferroptosis Supplements Protect Vision in Glaucoma? What the New Dnajb14 Discovery Really Means
Ferroptosis is not a household word, but it’s essentially a newly recognized way cells can die. Unlike typical cell death (like old cells dying...

Is Glaucoma an Energy Failure Disease? Mitochondria, Aging, and the Optic Nerve
Retinal ganglion cells are the nerve cells in the eye that send visual signals from the retina to the brain. They have an especially high energy...
The Future of Glaucoma Care May Be Personal: Matching Treatment to Each Patient’s Risk
Today we are on the brink of truly personalized glaucoma care, where doctors will tailor follow-up plans and treatments to each person’s unique risk...
Can the Optic Nerve Be Protected? The New Neuroprotection Era in Glaucoma Research
Inside the eye’s retina, special nerve cells called retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) work like telephone wires, carrying visual signals from the eye to...
Sustained-release glaucoma implants
Ophthalmologists and researchers have long noted these challenges. Topical drops can work well if used perfectly, but in reality poor adherence and...
Disease-modifying glaucoma drugs
Right now, no therapy has been proven to do this in patients. In large, decades-long studies only pressure lowering showed a clear benefit. In fact,...
The Copper Peptide and the Optic Nerve: A Deep Look at GHK-Cu, Oxidative Stress, and Glaucoma
Plain-language summary: GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring protein fragment that carries copper. It is known to help wounds heal and may influence...
Brain Imaging Biomarkers and Plasticity in Glaucoma
Doctors and researchers use advanced MRI techniques to track these changes. One method is diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), which traces the brain’s...
Glaucoma and Glutamine: Is There a Real Link Through Glutamate, Retinal Metabolism, and Neurodegeneration?
Neuron releases glutamate → Glial cell converts glutamate → glutamine → Glial cell sends glutamine back → Neuron converts glutamine back to...
Nocturnal hypotension, sleep apnea, and ocular perfusion: continuous monitoring studies
Importantly, body position and sleep also matter. Normally, when you lie down, intraocular pressure (IOP) tends to rise (by 10–20%) because eye fluid...
Economics of high-frequency home monitoring versus clinic-based perimetry
Clinic perimetry is very reliable but requires specialized equipment (like a Humphrey Field Analyzer) and trained staff. It can be costly and...
Color and contrast-specific perimetry to probe retinal ganglion cell subtype vulnerability
This article reviews these color- and contrast-specific perimetry methods and how they relate to glaucoma and optic nerve disease. We discuss what...
