Abstract

The two principal directions in the therapy of the primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) are lowering intraocular pressure medication and the surgical way. None of these two therapeutic modalities act on independent pressure risk-factors Thinking in this direction the neuro-protection concept should be in our minds all the time in the treatment of this disorder.
