A Molecular Biomarker for Glaucoma Damage (AUDIO) Washington University School of Medicine Your browser does not support the audio element. Caption When treating patients with glaucoma, doctors monitor pressure inside of the eye, trying to control the pressure as a way to preserve vision. But it's often very difficult to determine which glaucoma patients are at the greatest risk for vision loss and how quickly the eye disease may do its damage.
