D009798	Ocular Hypertension	A condition in which the intraocular pressure is elevated above normal and which may lead to glaucoma.	Glaucoma, Suspect,Hypertension, Ocular,Glaucomas, Suspect,Hypertensions, Ocular,Ocular Hypertensions,Suspect Glaucoma,Suspect Glaucomas
D002257	Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors	A class of compounds that reduces the secretion of H+ ions by the proximal kidney tubule through inhibition of CARBONIC ANHYDRASES.	Carbonate Dehydratase Inhibitor,Carbonate Dehydratase Inhibitors,Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitor,Carboxyanhydrase Inhibitor,Carboxyanhydrase Inhibitors,Anhydrase Inhibitor, Carbonic,Dehydratase Inhibitor, Carbonate,Inhibitor, Carbonate Dehydratase,Inhibitor, Carbonic Anhydrase,Inhibitor, Carboxyanhydrase,Inhibitors, Carbonate Dehydratase,Inhibitors, Carbonic Anhydrase,Inhibitors, Carboxyanhydrase
D003315	Cornea	The transparent anterior portion of the fibrous coat of the eye consisting of five layers: stratified squamous CORNEAL EPITHELIUM; BOWMAN MEMBRANE; CORNEAL STROMA; DESCEMET MEMBRANE; and mesenchymal CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM. It serves as the first refracting medium of the eye. It is structurally continuous with the SCLERA, avascular, receiving its nourishment by permeation through spaces between the lamellae, and is innervated by the ophthalmic division of the TRIGEMINAL NERVE via the ciliary nerves and those of the surrounding conjunctiva which together form plexuses. (Cline et al., Dictionary of Visual Science, 4th ed)	Corneas
D005901	Glaucoma	An ocular disease, occurring in many forms, having as its primary characteristics an unstable or a sustained increase in the intraocular pressure which the eye cannot withstand without damage to its structure or impairment of its function. The consequences of the increased pressure may be manifested in a variety of symptoms, depending upon type and severity, such as excavation of the optic disk, hardness of the eyeball, corneal anesthesia, reduced visual acuity, seeing of colored halos around lights, disturbed dark adaptation, visual field defects, and headaches. (Dictionary of Visual Science, 4th ed)	Glaucomas
D006801	Humans	Members of the species Homo sapiens.	Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D013449	Sulfonamides	A group of compounds that contain the structure SO2NH2.	Sulfonamide,Sulfonamide Mixture,Sulfonamide Mixtures,Mixture, Sulfonamide,Mixtures, Sulfonamide
D013876	Thiophenes	A monocyclic heteroarene furan in which the oxygen atom is replaced by a sulfur.	Thiophene
