Gene expression changes in steroid-induced IOP elevation in bovine trabecular meshwork.

abstract：PURPOSE:Rabbits are commonly used for the evaluation of drugs and surgery to lower intraocular pressure (IOP). The accuracy of intraocular pressure measurement is therefore critical in the analysis of data and subsequent extrapolation to humans. The purpose of this study was to establish the most reliable technique, fr...
