20th Anniversary of Pharmaceuticals—Advances in Pathophysiology, Pharmacology and Neuroprotection in Glaucoma

Dear Colleagues,

It is our great delight and honor to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Pharmaceuticals with a Special Issue on glaucoma, and to invite  researchers to contribute a manuscript of original research, review, or short communication. The articles from this Special Issue will be compiled into a dedicated book.

As you are aware, the many forms of glaucoma afflict millions of people worldwide. There is still a critical need to better understand the genetics, pathophysiology, and clinical ramifications connected with this heterogeneous optic neuropathy. As leaders in the glaucoma field, I cordially invite you to contribute an original or a review article covering the pathogenesis and/or pharmacology of current treatment modalities for ocular hypertension and glaucoma in an area of your expertise. This can also include neuroprotection for glaucomatous optic neuropathy, animal models, and related topics such as diagnosis, devices, AI, and, of course, the pharmacology of the receptors/enzymes/ion-channels implicated in the disease process or treatment(s).
