A recent report from Johns Hopkins University explores the relationship between intraocular pressure (IOP) and glaucoma. The researchers highlight that IOP cannot be simplified to a single value, as it varies over time and depending on ocular location. They emphasize that IOP creates mechanical strain on the optic nerve head, leading to extracellular matrix remodeling and retinal ganglion cell death, which are characteristic of glaucoma. The study emphasizes the importance of understanding the cellular targets of IOP-induced mechanical stimuli and their ability to sense and respond to these signals. The research has been peer-reviewed and published in Progress in Retinal and Eye Research. [Extracted from the article]
