Glucocorticoid (GC)-induced glaucoma is an undesirable side effect of traditional GCs. Ocular hypertension responsible for GC-induced glaucoma is due to alterations in conventional outflow homeostasis. The present study evaluates a novel selective GC receptor agonist (SEGRA), GW870086X, in two different in vitro models of the human conventional outflow pathway.
