Nguyen has worked collaboratively to investigate the role of the sclera and cornea in the development of glaucoma, and to develop a biomechanical model of the sclera and its effects on glaucoma.
To investigate the role of corneal hysteresis (CH) as a risk factor for development of glaucoma.
Further, high myopia is associated with oxidative stress in various parts of eye in the development of glaucoma, cataract and retinal detachment.
Increased pressure within the eye is one of several important risk factors for development of glaucoma, but no one particular pressure is indicative of the disease.
To identify the sensitivity and specificity of risk factors for the development of glaucoma in patients with port wine stain (PWS).
There is some evidence to suggest that stiffening the peripapillary sclera may be protective against the development of glaucoma in an animal model.
"It is significant that this modest 20percentt reduction in eye pressure had such an important protective effect in the development of glaucoma," said Dr. Michael Kass, chairman of the department of ophthalmology and visual sciences at the Washington University School of Medicine in St . Louis who led the study.
To determine the incidence of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) and secondary glaucoma in herpetic anterior uveitis (AU), owing to either herpes simplex or varicella zoster virus, by using the Standardization of Uveitis Nomenclature (SUN) criteria, and to identify risk factors for the development of glaucoma.
Despite some speculation that repetitive goggle use over time could consequently lead to development of glaucoma, one recent study challenges this notion [87].
This suggests that intermediate uveitis could be a high risk factor for the development of glaucoma and the consequent need for surgery.
In addition, ABCA1 is highly expressed in the ganglion cell layer of the retina, a finding consistent with it having a role in the development of glaucoma.
