Zusammenfassung:	An effective dose of a pharmaceutically acceptable phenylbutyrate salt such as sodium phenylbutyrate applied to human ocular tissues or through injection or other means prevents ocular hypertension and treats glaucoma in humans, leading to a new medical therapy for lowering the intraocular pressure via a mechanism different from the existing glaucoma medications. This compound can be formulated in combination with topical or other forms of steroids in prevention and treatment of steroid induced ocular hypertension and glaucoma.
