Increased intraocular pressure is the main cause of glaucoma development. However, the systemic information of genes related to ocular hypertension has not yet been clarified. In the present study, oligomicroarray determined the profile of gene expression in the retina after ocular hypertension. A r

Two new portable instruments--an ophthalmotonometer (TGDc-01) and a pressure indicator (IGD-02)--which make it possible to measure the intraocular pressure (IOP) through the eyelid, were worked out. The operation of both instruments is based on determining the acceleration of freely falling rod afte
