Ocular Hypertension & Glaucoma Models

APPLICATIONS:

  • Ocular hypertension
  • Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG)
  • Secondary open-angle glaucoma (SOAG)
  • Iatrogenic open-angle glaucoma

 

PRECLINICAL EFFICACY MODELS:

  • Steroid-induced chronic ocular hypertension
  • Hypertonic saline-induced ocular hypertension
  • Water loading-induced ocular hypertension
  • Normotensive

 

EVALUATION: 

  • Intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement (tonometry)
