Intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation is the primary risk factor and currently the main treatable factor for progression of glaucomatous optic neuropathy. In addition to direct clinical and living animal in vivo studies, ex vivo perfusion of anterior segments and whole eyes is a key technique for studying conventional outflow function as it is responsible for IOP regulation. We present well-tested experimental details, protocols, considerations, advantages, and limitations of several ex vivo model systems for studying IOP regulation. These include: (1) perfused whole globes, (2) stationary anterior segment organ culture, (3) perfused human anterior segment organ culture, (4) perfused animal anterior segment organ culture, (5) perfused human corneal rims, and (6) perfused human anterior segment wedges. These methods, with due consideration paid to their strengths and limitations, comprise a set of very strong tools for extending our understanding of IOP regulation.
