Current Developments in Glaucoma Surgery and MIGS
Successful interventional glaucoma remains a sought-after goal for the glaucoma clinician for many reasons. Medical costs, compliance, and adherence remain major barriers for the treatment of our patients. A truly definitive treatment for glaucoma is most likely to be largely surgical, as it is doubtful that patients will continue to use glaucoma drugs in the future for anything other than transient lowering of intraocular pressure. In the coming era, it seems probable that neuroprotection and neurorestoration will be combined with MIGS to lower pressure. The different types of MIGS are increasing in proportion to their efficacy. To date, there are no fewer than 12 choices available to glaucoma specialists. Choice of procedure depends on the underlying anatomy as well as the patient’s individual characteristics. Truthfully, the number of available surgeries depends upon their taxonomy. Most are based on the outflow system and the canal, as illustrated in this book.

Glaucoma Research and Clinical Advances
Foreword Volume 2 of our serial publication continues our desire to address glaucoma with a combination of science and speculation. As science expands, the emphasis is on data, interpretation, and dogma. We disagree; open minds open new approaches. Using methodologies that are primarily molecular and genetic, we seek to refine the causes of glaucoma as well as how it is best treated, especially incorporating thoughts and hypotheses about new methods of treatment. Glaucoma is a complex disease, and genetics proves that a variety of proteins are culpable at one level. At another level, however, there are likely final common pathways and numerous feedback loops which have defied explanations to...
Glaucoma Research and Clinical Advances 2016 to 2018
This first volume of the New Concepts in Glaucoma series was conceived as a platform to express new ideas and approaches to understanding and solving primary open-angle glaucoma. The authors have attempted to expand levels of knowledge, present new ideas and challenge existing theories. Although the authors have painted a broad picture, the central theme of the book is to ask the right questions and seek the answers for patients with primary open-angle glaucoma.
Glaucoma
This second edition volume expands on the previous edition with an update on the latest methodologies used to study the neurodegeneration of glaucoma. This book notably features a focus on ocular hypertension as an important factor in the pathogenesis of glaucoma, and the relationship between elevated intraocular pressure and neurodegeneration. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Cutting-edge and authoritative, Glaucoma: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition is a valuable resource for anyone interested in glaucoma research. This book will encourage innovation and facilitate progress toward improving our understanding and treatment of glaucoma.
The Extracellular Matrix: an Overview
Knowledge of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is essential to understand cellular differentiation, tissue development, and tissue remodeling. This volume of the series “Biology of Extracellular Matrix” provides a timely overview of the structure, regulation, and function of the major macromolecules that make up the extracellular matrix. It covers topics such as collagen types and assembly of collagen-containing suprastructures, basement membrane, fibronectin and other cell-adhesive glycoproteins, proteoglycans, microfibrils, elastin, fibulins and matricellular proteins, such as thrombospondin. It also explores the concept that ECM components together with their cell surface receptors can be viewed as intricate nano-devices that allow cells to physically organize their 3-D-environment. Further, the role of the ECM in human disease and pathogenesis is discussed as well as the use of model organisms in elucidating ECM function.
