    Due to their similarities in anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology to humans, mice are a valuable model system to study the generation and mechanisms modulating conventional outflow resistance and thus intraocular pressure. In addition, mouse models are critical for understanding the complex nature of conventional outflow homeostasis and dysfunction that results in ocular hypertension. In this review, we describe a set of minimum acceptable standards for developing, characterizing, and utilizing mouse models of open-angle ocular hypertension. We expect that this set of standard practices will increase scientific rigor when using mouse models and will better enable researchers to replicate and build upon previous findings.

    Outflow Facility Effects of 3 Schlemm’s Canal Microinvasive Glaucoma Surgery Devices
    (Elsevier, 2020-03) Toris, Carol B.; Pattabiraman, Padmanabhan P.; Tye, George; Samuelson, Thomas W.; Rhee, Douglas J.; Ophthalmology, School of Medicine
    Purpose To study the effect of 3 Schlemm’s canal (SC) microinvasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices on outflow facility. Design Paired comparisons, randomized design, baseline-controlled study. Participants Thirty-six pairs of dissected anterior segments from donated human eye bank eyes without glaucoma were studied. A baseline measurement was collected from each eye to serve as its control. Methods Using a constant pressure perfusion method, outflow facility was measured in paired eyes from human donors. Measurements were made at perfusion pressures of 10 mmHg, 20 mmHg, 30 mmHg, and 40 mmHg. Outflow facility was measured before (baseline control) and after the implantation of an SC glaucoma drainage device or sham procedure. Three sets of experiments were carried out comparing 1 and 2 iStent Trabecular Micro-Bypass Stents and 2 iStent Inject implants with the Hydrus Microstent. Main Outcome Measures Change in outflow facility from baseline or contralateral eye. Results After Hydrus placement, the outflow facility increased from 0.23±0.03 μl/minute per millimeter of mercury at baseline to 0.38±0.03 μl/minute per millimeter of mercury (P < 0.001). The percent increase in outflow facility was 79±21% for the Hydrus and 11±16% for the 2 iStent Inject devices, a difference that was significant (P = 0.018). Outflow facility with 1 iStent (0.38±0.07 μl/minute per millimeter of mercury) was greater than baseline (0.28±0.03 μl/minute per millimeter of mercury; P = 0.031). The 1 iStent showed a greater increase in outflow facility from baseline (0.10±0.04 μl/minute per millimeter of mercury) compared with the sham procedure (–0.08±0.05 μl/minute per millimeter of mercury; P = 0.042). No other significant differences were found. Conclusions The longer the MIGS device, and thus the more SC that it dilates, the greater the outflow facility.
