Elevated intraocular pressure does not explain glaucoma in all patients, but there is information that autoimmune mechanisms may be involved in this disorder. This review attempts to reveal the findings about specific changes in autoantibody profiles in glaucoma patients and their possible role in glaucoma. Considering that these changes in natural autoimmunity can be found consistently among different study populations, it might be a promising new tool for glaucoma detection.
眼压升高并不能解释所有患者的青光眼病因，但有信息表明自身免疫机制可能参与了这种疾病。本综述试图揭示青光眼患者自身抗体谱的特定变化及其在青光眼中可能的作用。鉴于在不同研究人群中均可一致发现这些自然自身免疫的变化，它可能成为一种有前景的青光眼检测新工具。
