Outflow facilities through Descemet's membrane in rabbits.

Background: The outflow pathway in viscocanalostomy, a new procedure in glaucoma surgery, is unclear; however, outflow through Descemet's membrane has been postulated. This study evaluates outflow rates through Descemet's membrane at different IOP levels in rabbits.

Methods: 51 Descemet's membranes without endothelium from enucleated rabbit eyes were installed in a double-ring system, the Minuth sheet.
