How can you use “glaucoma” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

In our studies, the occurrence of outer retinal damage was only observed in old AKXD28 eyes with late stage disease, typically several months after signs of glaucoma were evident, and was a late consequence of disease progression.
Patients in whom the angle recession extends for 240 to 360 degrees of the angle circumference (67 to 100%) frequently develop elevated IOP and glaucoma whereas patients with less extensive damage typically do not have high IOP, although their risk of progressing to glaucoma is increased.
Future experiments involving D2 and AKXD28 may allow identification of genes(s) that modulate susceptibility to pressure-induced damage and that may be relevant for human glaucoma.
These results provide a basis for future research to identify glaucoma modifier genes and to dissect the molecular mechanisms by which they act.
Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness that involves loss of retinal ganglion cells and degeneration of the optic nerve [ 1 ] . Glaucoma is usually associated with high intraocular pressure (IOP) that results from an increased resistance to drainage of the ocular fluid [ 1 ] . Developmental disorders of the ocular anterior segment, including Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome, are often associated with elevated IOP and glaucoma [ 1 2 ] . The developmental sequence and structure of the human and mouse ocular drainage structures are similar [ 3 ] , and the same genes are known to cause anterior segment dysgenesis (ASD) in humans and mice.
