title: [Alternative treatments in glaucoma, independent from ocular pressure].
abstract: Glaucoma is a medical condition that affects the optic nerve of the eye and can lead to a permanent loss of vision if left untreated. It is now clear that IOP (intraocular pression) lowering treatment may significantly delay or prevent glaucoma development and progression. Although current ocular hypotensive therapy is generally considered safe, alternative treatments may also be considered to slow the progression and prevent the development of complications of the disease.
