The glaucomas are a group of optic neuropathies comprising the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Elevated intraocular pressure due to a reduction in normal aqueous outflow is a major causal risk factor. We recently reported that En-dothelial Leukocyte Adhesion Molecule-1 (ELAM-1), the earliest marker for the atherosclerotic plaque in the vasculature, was The glaucomas are a group of optic neuropathies including the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide.
