Glaucoma: Diagnosis and Therapy

Symposium 257

Dr. Jonas: Great presentation. Hope you have fun at the meeting.You indicate that the pathogenetic reason for the finding of the present study, that glaucomatous parapapillary atrophy partially depends on the distance to the central retinal vessel trunk exit, remains unclear. What sort of primary causes would you think initiate such a damage? Association studies may be useful therapeutically but from these how does one lead to the primary cause?
