Cauterization of three episcleral veins (open-angle glaucoma model) induces venous congestion and increases intraocular pressure in rats. If not upgraded, one episcleral vein is regularly unable to acquire and take over the whole function, and glaucoma-like features persist. Recently, the rapid upgrading of the collateral pathways by a stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 has cured many severe syndromes induced by permanent occlusion of major vessels, veins and/or arteries, peripherally and centrally.

Accumulation of aqueous humor in the posterior chamber due to a large difference in the rate of formation and its drainage in the anterior chamber causes an increase in intraocular pressure (IOP) leading to damage of nerve cells. A literature survey has revealed that inhibition of the Rho guanosine triphosphatases (rho GTPase) pathway by specific inhibitors leads to the relaxation of contractile cells involved in the aqueous outflow pathway.
