Abstract:

Glaucoma has become the leading cause of irreversible blindness in the world. The pathological increase in intraocular pressure is one of the most dangerous factor leading glaucoma, which would cause characteristic optic nerve damage. In the past 50 years, glaucoma filtering surgery has been the primary treatment for reducing glaucoma intraocular pressure. Glaucoma filtering surgery often scares the filtering bleb after the operation, which obstructing the outflow of aqueous humor through the filtering channel, causing the function to fail. To clarify, the anti-scarring mechanism after glaucoma filtering operation is essential for the treatment of glaucoma. Therefore, the research on scar formation signal pathways worldwide and the current anti-scarring treatment methods were reviewed in this paper, aiming to provide new ideas for improving surgery outcome and the development of new clinical drugs.

Key words: Glaucoma, Fibroblast, Filter bleb, Anti-scarring
