Summary
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness. Ginkgo biloba may be part of an effective
treatment strategy for glaucoma because it has been shown to improve blood flow, it has
antioxidant properties, it can relax smooth muscle, and it can protect neurons from damage.
The goal of our study was to determine whether Ginkgo biloba would result in increased ocular
blood flow which may protect against glaucoma damage.
