vigabatrin and Glaucoma

vigabatrin has been researched along with Glaucoma in 3 studies

Glaucoma: An ocular disease, occurring in many forms, having as its primary characteristics an unstable or a sustained increase in the intraocular pressure which the eye cannot withstand without damage to its structure or impairment of its function. The consequences of the increased pressure may be manifested in a variety of symptoms, depending upon type and severity, such as excavation of the optic disk, hardness of the eyeball, corneal anesthesia, reduced visual acuity, seeing of colored halos around lights, disturbed dark adaptation, visual field defects, and headaches.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Four subjects with advanced visual field loss of various origin (retinitis pigmentosa, vigabatrin-associated visual field defect, glaucomatous nerve fibre layer defect, and postgeniculate visual pathway defect) participated in this study."3.71[Evaluation of extensive visual field defects with computer-assisted kinetic perimetry]. ( Besch, D; Dietrich, TJ; Paetzold, J; Schiefer, U; Schiller, J; Vonthein, R, 2001)
"Vigabatrin (VGB) is an anti-epileptic medication which has been linked to peripheral constriction of the visual field."1.40Does the Swedish Interactive Threshold Algorithm (SITA) accurately map visual field loss attributed to vigabatrin? ( Conway, ML; Cubbidge, RP; Hosking, SL; Zhu, H, 2014)
" Similarly, we showed that RGC degeneration can be induced by pharmacologically blocking the taurine-transporter with the chronic administration of a selective inhibitor, which results in a decrease in the taurine levels both in the plasma and in the retinal tissue."1.39Taurine is a crucial factor to preserve retinal ganglion cell survival. ( Cadetti, L; Degardin, J; Dubus, E; Forster, V; Froger, N; Gaucher, D; Ivkovic, I; Jammoul, F; Lorach, H; Pain, D; Picaud, S; Sahel, JA; Simonutti, M, 2013)
