Abstract
The invention concerns the recognition that certain non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents produce cytoprotective effects on trabecular cells, and thus can be used to prevent injury to the cells and treat the loss of trabecular cells caused by oxidative or other forms of injury to the cells. Such treatment can ameliorate the severity, or prevent, glaucoma.
