The trabecular meshwork (TM) tissue is constantly exposed to dynamic stress caused by intraocular pressure (IOP). The effects of such biomechanical stress on the TM have not been analyzed. This study developed an animal model of fluctuating IOP and evaluated the effects of these fluctuations on TM tissue.
