The Role of the IL-20 Subfamily in Glaucoma

Figure 1

Schematic showing the anatomy of normal and glaucoma eyes. In glaucoma, a blockage in the aqueous humor outflow pathway in the anterior chamber (red) causes intraocular pressure to increase leading to loss of retinal ganglion cells and optic nerve damage at the back of the eye (orange). Images were slightly modified from those freely provided by the National Eye Institute, National Institute of Health.
