Abstract

A mathematical model is present to account for pigmentary glaucoma. The purpose of the model is twofold. First, to evaluate the various conjectures about the pathogenesis of pigmentary glaucoma. Second, to establish a tool that may be used to evaluate new treatments for all types of glaucoma.
