Neuroprotection and nicotinamide
In ophthalmology, ‘neuroprotection’ usually refers to methods of preventing progressive glaucomatous visual field loss that are not intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction treatments. Nicotinamide is a form of vitamin B3, which is transformed into nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) within mitochondria. NAD is a major chemical in all the vital processes of cellular metabolism and is also critical for DNA repair through the Sirtuin pathway.
