They maintain nutrient and oxygen delivery to anterior chamber tissues.
Reason: ROCK inhibitors lower IOP by improving trabecular (conventional) outflow and reducing outflow resistance (and may lower episcleral venous pressure), so they preserve normal aqueous turnover and ocular perfusion. They do not eliminate follow-up, do not reverse established optic nerve damage, and they do not work by increasing aqueous production.
