Role of reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress in the pathomechanism of glaucoma

Key Points

• Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the pathomechanism of glaucoma, unifying various injury theories.
• Reactive oxygen species are identified as key mediators in glaucoma-related damage and disease progression.
• Investigation into specific oxidative stress players may uncover novel therapeutic targets for glaucoma management.
• These findings highlight the potential for new treatment strategies centered around oxidative stress modulation.
