Biography
Francisco Javier Carreras is a Tenured Professor of Ophthalmology, University of Granada. His research has pivoted around the pathogenesis of the glaucomas. He has contributed in the description and characterization of the Cameral Mucous Gel in humans. He has described a fluid conducting role for the perivascular glial sheat as well as the fenestrations of the basal lamina in the inner limiting membrane. His description of a pathogenetic role of the misdirection of aqueous humor flow is been incrementally delineated by his late contributions. He has developed a computational model of the optic pathways that helps to understand the structural/functional relationship in glaucoma.
