Abstract

Advanced glaucomatous excavation of the optic nervehead can be demonstrated reliably with contact B scan ultrasonography; large physiologic cups do not produce an abnormal optic nervehead pattern. Demonstration of a depression at the surface of the optic nerve insertion must be interpreted as indicative of glaucomatous excavation but should not be used as a contraindication to surgery.

Inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS-2) is abundantly present in the optic nerve heads of glaucoma patients. To determine the regulation of NOS-2 expression in the glaucomatous optic nerve head, the specific cells that express NOS-2 in the optic nerve heads of patients with primary open-angle glauco
