Sumario: | At the beginning of the 20th century, our knowledge about glaucoma was truly rudimentary. Since then, it has grown to become a field of its own and, in the past decade, our concepts about its pathogenesis and potential avenues of future therapy have taken a quantum leap forward. It was not until the 1990s that the extent of non-pressure dependent risk factors for glaucoma became widely appreciated. Investigations into the role of ischemia and alternatives to pressure-lowering therapy, such as neuroprotective agents, have become the most recent area of focus. The next generation should see man. |
