ABSTRACT
Glaucoma is the second largest blinding disorder, after cataract, affecting about 67 million people worldwide. In India about 1.5 million people are blind due to glaucoma. Primary open angle glaucoma is the major sub-type of glaucoma affecting all ages and is genetically complex. Myocilin and optineurin are two different genes that have been implicated for primary open angle glaucoma. This review is focused on the studies being conducted in India on primary open angle glaucoma to identify the molecular defects and new directions undertaken using bioinformatic approaches towards a better understanding of the disease.
