Summary
This research examines optic nerve crush as a model for glaucomatous axonal injury, studying retrograde degeneration and retinal ganglion cell death in both human and experimental glaucoma. Understanding the mechanisms of optic nerve damage is relevant for lighting designers to consider protective spectral exposure strategies for populations at risk of glaucoma.
