Withdrawn before enrolling · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Glaucoma

In brief

The purpose of this study is to try to identify the cause of damage to the drainage system of the eye (the trabecular meshwork). Damage to this system may cause elevation in the pressure within the eye and thereby damage to the optic nerve and the vision.
