Glaucoma: Optic Neuropathy due to Intraocular Pressure

Storyboard

Model of aqueous humor dynamics and optic nerve damage. Describes how the imbalance between aqueous production and drainage increases the IOP, compressing the optic nerve. Correction: hypotensive eye drops (prostaglandins, beta blockers), laser (trabeculoplasty), surgery (trabeculectomy, MIGS devices).
