Trabecular Meshwork Motion Profile from Pulsatile Pressure Transients: A New Platform to Simulate Transitory Responses in Humans and Nonhuman Primates

Chen Xin et al.

Summary: This study introduces a new laboratory platform to investigate the motion responses of trabecular meshwork (TM) to ocular transients. The findings suggest that abnormal TM motion is a leading cause of glaucoma and that the platform permits quantitation of TM motion responses to designed pulse transients. The study's implications include improved interpretation of new TM motion measurements in clinic and a better understanding of glaucoma mechanisms and management.

Normal and glaucomatous outflow regulation

Ted S. Acott et al.

Summary: Glaucoma, a complex eye disease, involves the key structures of trabecular meshwork and Schlemm's canal inner wall endothelium in regulating intraocular pressure. Glaucomatous eyes demonstrate distinctive molecular differences in aqueous outflow regions, with a loss of IOP homeostatic response leading to pathological changes. The ongoing research into outflow resistance and its regulation mechanisms has the potential to enhance our understanding of IOP regulation and glaucoma pathophysiology.

Effects of Schlemm's Canal Expansion: Biomechanics and MIGS Implications

Chen Xin et al.

Summary: This study utilized high-resolution OCT to evaluate the impact of Schlemm's canal dilation on the biomechanical properties of the trabecular meshwork and the structure of collector channels. Results demonstrated pressure-dependent changes in the dimensions of Schlemm's canal and collector channels, with elastance curves shifting with increased pressure-dependent steady-state Schlemm's canal area. The study provides insights into the mechanisms of intraocular pressure control in glaucoma surgery.

Aqueous outflow regulation-21st century concepts

Murray Johnstone et al.

Summary: The article proposes an integrated model of aqueous outflow control using a pump-conduit system, drawing on physiological regulatory mechanisms to improve care for glaucoma patients. The model focuses on trabecular meshwork distention and recoil, with inlet and outlet valves controlling aqueous flow from Schlemm's canal. The failure of the aqueous outflow pump in glaucoma is attributed to loss of tissue elastance and alterations in ciliary body tension, leading to SC wall apposition and reduced pulsatile aqueous discharge. Monitoring these alterations clinically is challenging, but phase-sensitive OCT offers a noninvasive way to measure pulse-dependent TM motion in humans, providing a novel framework for understanding mechanisms and therapeutic options for glaucoma.
