Glaucoma refers to a group of diseases that tend to damage the optic nerve, resulting in vision loss and blindness. It is usually caused due to fluid building up in the anterior part of the eye, which increases pressure inside the eye. It can affect people of all ages but is most common in adults aged between 70 to 80 years. If not treated, people with glaucoma slowly lose their peripheral vision and miss objects to the side and out of the corner of their eye. Over time, straight-ahead vision may decrease until no vision remains.
The report covers disease overview along with currently available diagnostic and treatment methods; detailed product profiles of pipeline assets; and segmentation of pipeline assets by company, phase of development, route of administration (RoA), mechanism of action (MoA), and molecule type.

Recent Advancements in glaucoma pipeline:
-
In September 2018, the USFDA approved latanoprostophthalmic emulsion 0.005% (Xelpros, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited) to reduce elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma.
-
In August 2018, Aerie Pharmaceuticals Inc. and DSM Biomedical Inc., reported that they have expanded their collaborative research, development, and license agreement for the better treatment of glaucoma.
-
In December 2018, the USFDA approved Rhopressa (netarsudil ophthalmic solution) 0.02% for lowering elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma.
