Abstract
A new form of open-angle glaucoma has been identified, in which calcification and silicification of the trabecular meshwork is a potentially significant component of outflow obstruction. It is noted that the mineralization of this area is promoted by various disturbances in the acid-base balance in the tissue. The role of melanosomal enzymes in the initiation of the formation of mineral calcium phosphate in trabecular tissue in open-angle glaucoma is considered.
