    Unlocking the Potential of Targeting the Trabecular Meshwork: Novel Treatments for Glaucoma

    Glaucoma remains a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, with limited advancements in topical treatments over recent years. This presentation explores innovative therapeutic strategies targeting trabecular meshwork (TM) dysfunction, which plays a critical role in maintaining intraocular pressure (IOP) and is a key contributor to glaucoma.

Dysregulation of the Rho-kinase (ROCK) signaling pathway has been linked to TM dysfunction and elevated IOP. The development of ROCK inhibitors represents a promising new class of drugs with the potential to provide effective treatments for glaucoma, as demonstrated in clinical studies.
