This paper summarizes the data on key aspects of glaucoma pathogenesis accumulated in the recent decades. It was demonstrated that elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is still an important and well-studied risk factor for vision loss in both open-angle and angle-closure glaucoma. Management algorithms for glaucoma which consider disease progression include three major principles, i.e., IOP lowering to achieve target IOP, maintenance and improvement of ocular blood flow, and neural retinal protection. Currently, prostaglandin analogues and their combinations are considered the most effective IOP-lowering agents. Medications which contribute to the contraction of trabecular meshwork and regulation of aqueous humor outflow have demonstrated their efficacy in different phases of clinical trials. They should be adopted in the immediate future. In addition, novel drug delivery strategies are developed. Therefore, the aim of pathogenically-based treatment using modern therapeutic agents is to save maximum vision and the quality of life in most patients.</i> </p> <p> <i><b>Keywords</b>: primary open-angle glaucoma, intraocular pressure, glaucomatous optic neuropathy, neural retinal protection, IOP-lowering treatment, prostaglandin analogues, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, beta blockers, alpha-2 agonists, prostamides, fixed-dose combinations.&nbsp;</i> </p> <p> <b>For citation:</b><i> Egorov A.E., Glazko N.G., Movsisyan A.B.
