A. They maintain nutrient and oxygen delivery to anterior chamber tissues.

Explanation: ROCK inhibitors lower IOP primarily by improving conventional (trabecular) outflow and reducing episcleral venous pressure, thereby preserving more physiologic aqueous flow and anterior-segment perfusion. They do not eliminate follow-up, do not reverse established optic nerve damage, and do not work by increasing aqueous production.
