Glaucoma research
Researchers are trying to identify various tests, procedures and
medications that may provide health care professionals with more
information regarding the causes, treatment and prevention of
glaucoma.
Researchers are currently attempting to develop glaucoma treatments
that have to be used less often. The current medications for
glaucoma have to be used several times a day. This complex dosing
schedule discourages patients from using their medication correctly;
decreasing the benefits they should obtain from the medication. Once
a week preparations are currently being developed to simplify the
dosing schedule for the treatment of glaucoma.
Currently, the New York Glaucoma Research Institute has several
ongoing studies. The Institute is reviewing the use of ultrasound
biomicroscopy (UBM), a procedure that researchers anticipate will
provide for a more accurate diagnosis of glaucoma. Optical coherence
tomography (OCT) is another procedure being studied. This procedure
is being investigated to aid health care professionals to gain a
better understanding of the development of glaucoma, as well as
allow for earlier detection of the disease. Other areas of research
include confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy and tissue culture,
which will evaluate the optic nerve and provide insight into how to
strengthen the optic nerve once affected by glaucoma.
There is a new interest in research targeting stem cell therapies to
treat glaucoma. Researchers now believe that there is a potential
for using stem cells as a renewable source of replacement cells and
tissue to treat glaucoma. It is believed that adult stem cells will
work by replacing retinal ganglion cells, the cells that die in
glaucoma.
Memantine (Namenda), a medication that has been used to treat
Parkinson’s disease and dementia, and Glatiramer (Copaxone), a
medication used in patients with multiple sclerosis, are being
considered for glaucoma treatment by researchers. Researchers
believe Namenda and Copaxone may be able to protect the optic nerve
from too much glutamate. Without glutamate, calcium cannot enter the
nerve cell. Therefore, the nerve cells are protected from too much
calcium, which can be toxic to the cell. The greatest advantage of
Namenda and Copaxone is that they are able to accomplish this
without interfering with the normal function of the cell. This
ability to protect the cell from calcium and still allow normal cell
function may someday prove to throw memantine and copaxone into
first line status for the treatment of glaucoma. At this time, no
definitive studies have been done to assess the effectiveness and
safety of these medications in glaucoma patients.
A new type of drug is being researched that could help stop or slow
vision loss from glaucoma called aminoguanidine. Aminoguanidine is a
new type of drug that is being developed is one that curbes the
action of NOS-2, an enzyme that makes nitric oxide. This type of
drug has been shown in animals to slow down and possibly prevent the
loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), the crucial nerve cells so
important to sight.

Testimonials: |
"...I can honestly say Eyerobics has been the best thing that has happened to me. After four eye operations, 12 years in glasses and then contact lenses, and still having problems, I started the Eyerobics program. In two weeks I started getting results and such clear vision I removed my contacts and have never used them since.
My eye specialist in Melbourne told me my eyes were great. I wouldn't need glasses or contacts again. I couldn't be happier with the results, so simple and yet noticing
each day the major improvements."

".. .for many years I have been suffering from Myopia or nearsightedness until I tried your program. Now after two weeks I have noticed such great improvements in my eyesight. I am now able to read road signs clearly and even better: I can see my wife when she is standing far away needing my attention!
Thank you for your eyesight improvement program. I am very happy with the results (and so is my wife!)."

" ... after doing your program for three weeks I am now capable of reading even fine print without glasses. I used to be farsighted, but my eye specialist told me last week I no longer have Hyperopia !!
Thank you for this fantastic program that has made a huge difference in my life!"

"...within a couple of days I noticed an improvement. I am now able to read without any aides fairly small print with ease. Therefor I am rather pleased and excited and greatly impressed with your product."

"... Within twelve days I could do hand sewing without glasses and can now read without glasses. It is just such a wonderful release from always having to remember to carry my glasses everywhere.
Several of my work colleagues are amazed they can see when they wear my pinhole glasses and will be contacting you for a video. Thank you so much for making the video and giving me the opportunity to heal my failing vision. I can't believe how easy it has been to improve my eyesight."
