Abstract:Purpose To establish a new experimental glaucoma model using intracameral injection with various microbeads of different sizes and materials.
Methods Chronic elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP) was induced by unilateral microbeads injection into the anterior chamber of Sprague‐Dawley (SD) rats. The effectiveness of different materials (polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA, 7 and 15 µm), polyurethane (PU, 7 and 17 µm), Silica (13 µm)) on IOP elevation was compared. Reinjection of the microbeads was performed at pos… Show more
