This book provides the latest findings on neuroprotection and
neuroregeneration as potential therapeutic strategies for various
eye diseases, namely, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration
(AMD), retinal detachment, and retinitis pigmentosa. Glaucoma is
one of the main causes of blindness throughout the world, and other
diseases such as AMD and retinitis pigmentosa also lead to loss of
vision. All these conditions are characterized by degeneration of
specific retinal cell types, making it essential to establish
treatments to protect retinal neurons and the optic nerve. With
that aim in mind, this book explains the mechanisms underlying
aforementioned diseases and their experimental models. The novel
strategy proposals for the treatment of retinal diseases based on
the concept of neuroprotection are also discussed in the main body
of the text, while the section on regenerative research discusses
optic nerve regeneration, endothelial progenitor cells, and iPS
cells. This book is recommended as a professional reference work
for all doctors and trainees in the field of ophthalmology who are
interested in neuroprotective and neuroregenerative treatments.
