Genetic Markers for Variations in IOP and Aqueous Flow Responses to Beta-blockers
2R01 EY022124-05 (Moroi)
8/1/2019 - 7/31/2023
The goal of this project is to identify physiological factors that profile an individual’s variance of IOP and variation in glaucoma treatment response to beta-blocker and prostaglandin treatments among patients with ocular hypertension or early stage glaucoma.
