Abstract
The human anterior segment perfusion organ culture is an ex vivo model system for studying the human conventional outflow pathway with reference to pressure regulation. In this model, anterior segments dissected from human donor eyes can be fixed to a modified petri dish and perfused with media along with various study agents at the physiological flow rate of 2.5μL/min. The model mimics the one-way flow of aqueous humor in human eyes and can be used to evaluate the effects of various drugs on eye pressure in real time. Using this model, cells and tissues of the anterior segment can be maintained for up to 28days, enabling histological and molecular evaluations.
