Glaucoma Models of Neuroprotection:

Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that leads to vision loss by causing damage to the optic nerve.

N-Methyl D-Aspartate-Induced Excitotoxicity

The N-methyl D-aspartate-induced retinal degeneration model is used to evaluate the efficacy of test articles preventing  degeneration of retinal ganglion cells. Our team of experts has developed reproducible models with consistent results in mice. 

Optic Nerve Crush

The optic nerve crush retinal degeneration model is used to evaluate the efficacy of test articles preventing degeneration of retinal ganglion cells and neuronal axons. Our team of experts has developed reproducible models with consistent results in mice. 

MIGS

Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery. These are a group of surgical procedures designed to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma, with the goal of preventing further optic nerve damage. MIGS procedures are considered safer and less invasive than traditional glaucoma surgeries, such as trabeculectomy or tube shunt surgery. 

Glaucoma- Ocular Hypertension

Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that leads to vision loss by causing damage to the optic nerve, and Ocular hypertension is a contributing factor in this blinding disease.

Silicone Oil Ocular Hypertension

The silicone oil model of ocular hypertension resulting in retinal degeneration is used to evaluate the efficacy of test articles preventing retinal degeneration. Our team of experts has developed reproducible models with consistent results in mice.

Glaucome Normotensive Models-

In naive, normotensive models, test articles and devices can be evaluated for efficacy by measuring a change in intraocular pressure compared to baseline. Our team of experts has developed reproducible models with consistent results in mice, rats, rabbits, swine, and canines.
