}Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide and elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is the most important risk factor. High IOP usually occurs as a result of an increase in aqueous humor outflow resistance at the trabecular meshwork (TM). An abnormal TM contributes to the development of glaucoma. Oxidative stress and vascular damage are considered two major cellular factors that lead to alterations in the TM. In this review, we discuss the findings related to oxidative damage to…

It is proven that antioxidants and ω-3/ω-6 fatty acids at the molecular level in the glaucomatous anterior and posterior eye segments may help regulating the intraocular pressure as well as protecting the retinal neurons against OS/NS in POAG.
Interplay between Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, and Amyloidosis in the Anterior Segment of the Eye; Its Pathological Implications
- Biology, MedicineOxidative medicine and cellular longevity

It is found that there is no consensus about which factor is the first to cause amyloidosis, and there is an interplay among these factors forming a vicious cycle that leads to the loss of protein structure in ocular pathologies, and multifactorial therapies should be developed to avoid protein misfolding and to stop the progression of ocular Pathologies.

Aqueous humour composition is characterised in glaucomatous patients by the presence of proteins deriving from apoptosis activation, mitochondrial damage, loss of intercellular connections, antioxidant decrease, which indicate that trabecular cell protection plays a role in the treatment and prevention ofglaucoma.

It is concluded that under sublethal oxidative stress conditions, the TM cell adhesion to the ECM was impaired, and the short‐term loss of cell‐matrix adhesiveness may be related to the rearrangement of cytoskeletal structures.
