(A) Apparatus for controlling IOP during intact globe expansion experiments. (Not to scale: The eye is approximately 14 cm in diameter, and the height of the reservoir ranges from 30 to 116 cm.) The height of the saline reservoir generates a hydrostatic pressure that is transferred to the eye through the hypodermic needle on opening the valve. A bath of DPBS maintains the equilibrated extent of hydration of the tissue. Digital photographs are taken throughout the 24 hours of testing. (B) Ocular dimensions are measured with a program written in commercial software (MatLab; The MathWorks, Natick, MA).
