Normal tension glaucoma is one of the most common cause of primary open angle glaucoma in Korea. Even though, we still do not know what the cause is. Only IOP-lowering drugs are the currently available therapeutic method. Glutathione is one of the mostly high concentrated intracellular antioxidants. We find apoptosis of neuronal cell in the mouse retina by systemic depletion of glutathione using buthionine sulfoximine. Glutathione is also known to be reduced in primary open angle glaucoma with high IOP. So we are planning to evaluate systemic glutathione level in normal tension glaucoma.
