ABSTRACT

Glaucoma is an irreversible blinding eye disease. The mechanisms underlying glaucoma are complex. Up to now, no successful remedy has been found to completely cure the condition. High intraocular pressure (IOP) is an established risk factor for glaucoma and the only known modifiable factor for glaucoma treatment. Mice have been widely used to study glaucoma pathogenesis. IOP measurement is an important tool for monitoring the potential development of glaucomatous phenotypes in glaucoma mouse models. Currently, there are two methods of IOP measurement in mice: invasive and non-invasive. As the invasive method can cause corneal damage and inflammation, and most of the noninvasive method involves the use of anesthetics. In the course of our research, we designed a mouse fixation device to facilitate non-invasive measurements of mouse IOPs. Using this device, mouse IOPs can be accurately measured in awake mice. This device will help researchers to accurately assess mouse IOP without the use of anesthetics.
