Grant Activity:
Redefining glaucoma as a mitochondrial optic neuropathy
Purpose:
Glaucoma is a common sight-threatening disease. Existing treatments aim to lower eye pressures but in many patients this approach does not slow vision loss. We have new evidence that the energy generating cellular power-packs (called mitochondria) are defective in glaucoma. This study will determine if this is the case in a large Australian patient population. If true it will define entirely new approaches to slowing vision loss in glaucoma
