Histology of optic nerve damage in ocular hypertension and early glaucoma (summary)

摘要: A review of recent advances in optic nerve anatomy and pathology which focuses on retinal ganglion cell axons support cells suggests that the primary site injury glaucoma is lamina cribrosa, scleral portion head.‘.“J’ Detailed histological studies experimental animals human eyes with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) indicate mechanical factors are involved injury.“,“,‘” Retina1 comprise innermost layer retina, their projecting from fiber layer. These organized into fascicles, or bundles, head, differ markedly size glial-collagenous surround; those temporal cribrosa tend to contain fewer fibers than located nasallv.”
