As we are aware of the fact that glaucoma is a very common and challenging disorder for an ophthalmologist. A lot of recent advances have taken place in many ways in recent surgical modalities and new antiglaucoma medication. We have subspecialties in glaucoma however still a lot of research is taking place in this context in the institute of technology, Philadelphia USA.
An experimental study in mice has shown that glaucoma is an autoimmune disease and the study believes that there is suppression of T lymphocytes. In glaucoma, these cells are 5 times more than that in non-glaucomatous. But still, it is in the experimental phase.
