Abstract
BACKGROUND: All currently approved glaucoma medications are directed toward lowering intraocular pressure. However, it is apparent that there are pressure-independent mechanisms associated with the development of glaucomatous optic neuropathy. There has been considerable effort to develop therapeutics that rescue the retinal ganglion cells from undergoing secondary degeneration after the original insult has occurred. This therapeutic strategy has been termed neuroprotection. METHODS: The literature was reviewed to examine the current knowledge of the degenerative cascade involved in glaucomatous damage, with emphasis on potential therapeutic targets for neuroprotective strategies. RESULTS: There are a number of promising areas of research for new glaucoma therapies including glutamate antagonists, calcium channel blockers, antioxidants, nitric oxide synthase inhibitors, neurotrophins, and anti-apoptotic agents. CONCLUSIONS: Glaucoma is a complex disease with a number of risk factors and mechanisms leading to ganglion cell death. Future glaucoma therapy will likely include neuroprotectants that could be used as an adjunct therapy with other medications designed to lessen the initial insult (i.e., intraocular pressure-lowering compounds). As the word neuroprotection becomes more popular, care must be taken in evaluating the research literature for clinically effective therapies.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
