Experimentally Induced Mammalian Models of Glaucoma

Figure 3

Outline of the experiment using ex vivo glaucoma model. Eyecups preparations were sunken to the bottom of a glass cylinder with different heights. Each cylinder was filled with incubation buffer at 30°C for 24 hours. The buffer was bubbled with 95% O₂-5% CO₂. Hydrostatic pressure at the bottom of the cylinder was calculated to be 10 mm Hg and 75 mm Hg when a CSF was added to a height of 13.5 cm and 101.2 cm, respectively. This figure is the modification of Figure  1 of Ishikawa et al. [17].
