What research is being done?
|
Through studies in the laboratory and with patients, the National Eye Institute is seeking better ways to detect, treat, and prevent vision loss in people with glaucoma. For example, researchers have discovered genes that could help explain how glaucoma damages the eye.
The NEI also is supporting studies to learn more about who is likely to get glaucoma, when to treat people with increased pressure, and which treatment to use first.
