The role of the structure of the lamina cribrosa in the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma. Structural and circulatory changes in the lamina cribrosa with aging and elevated intraocular pressure

The earliest damage in glaucoma starts in the posterior pole of the eye, where the axons of retinal ganglion cells, that form the optic nerve fibers, and retinal vessels pass through the connective tissue network called the lamina cribrosa (LC). Modern diagnostic techniques, such as optical coherenc...
