Abstract

The current primary approach to the therapeutic and surgical management of glaucoma is limited to lowering intraocular pressure (IOP). While normalization of IOP stabilizes some functional parameters, there is still potential for further restoration of lost visual function in the post-operative period while maintaining the "therapeutic window". Neuroprotection refers to the modification of retinal ganglion cells and the neuronal microenvironment to promote their survival and function. Numerous studies have identified effective neuroprotective methods for glaucoma; however, their implementation into clinical practice remains a significant challenge. This review presents the most clinically significant treatment strategies, as well as the latest therapeutic advances in physiotherapy.
