Glaucoma is among the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide. It is increasingly being recognized as a complex and multifactorial disease with diverse pathogenesis. Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) remains the primary modifiable risk factor and continues to be the cornerstone of current glaucoma management. The accumulating evidence provided clinical insights that factor beyond...

To evaluate the effect of mindfulness meditation (MM) on intraocular pressure (IOP) and trabecular meshwork (TM) gene expression in patients with medically uncontrolled primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). Parallel arm, single-masked, randomized controlled trial. Sixty POAG patients with IOP ≥21 mm Hg taking maximal topical medication and scheduled for trabeculectomy were included in this study...

Background: Glaucoma (POAG) is a kind of neurodegenerative disease known to be closely associated with stress and adverse quality of life (QOL). Stress has also been shown to be involved in etiopathogenesis of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). Complementary treatment in form of Meditation has been reported to improve QOL, brain oxygenation and decrease markers of stress. With this premise, a...

Background: Reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is currently the only approach to prevent further optic nerve head damage. However, other mechanisms such as ischemia, oxidative stress, glutamate excitotoxicity, neurotrophin loss, inflammation/glial activation, and vascular dysregulation are not addressed. Because stress is a key risk factor affecting these...
