Thermal Physics and Glaucoma: From Thermodynamic to Biophysical Considerations to Designing Future Therapies

This paper presents a theoretical approach to glaucoma, with the aim of improving the comprehension of the biophysical bases for new possible therapies. The approach is based on a non-equilibrium thermodynamic model. The results point to the fundamental role of the membrane’s electric potential and...
