Abstract

At present, no animal models fully embody exfoliation syndrome or exfoliation glaucoma. Both genetic and environmental factors appear critical for disease manifestation, and both must be considered when generating animal models. Because mice provide a powerful mammalian platform for modeling complex disease, this paper focuses on mouse models of exfoliation syndrome and exfoliation glaucoma.
