Glaucoma Disease

A leading cause of blindness in the world, it is a progressive optic neuropathy often associated with increased intraocular pressure and characterized by progressive death of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs).¹ The European Glaucoma Society recognizes neuroprotection as an adjuvant treatment option in glaucoma² and there is evidence that coenzyme Q1O has a potential retinal neuroprotective action.^1,4-6 Topical CoQ1O has proved to be an effective therapy preventing RGC apoptosis and losing glaucoma-related models.^5* This is due to its anti-apoptotic, antioxidant and bioenergetic properties.^3,7
