主　　题：retinal ganglion cells ocular hypertension provided visual neural 

摘      要：To the editor： WANG and his colleagues provided the evidence that ＂both melanopsin-containing and super/or collicular retinal ganglion cells were damaged by chronic ocular hypertension, indicating that glaucomatous neural degeneration involves the non-image-forming visual pathway＂） These cells as the authors have beautifully described dealing with a variety of functions including biological clock; pupillary light reaction and they are affected by glaucoma. The report is scientific and quite interesting. I would like to congratulate the authors for their superb studies.
