Abstract
To investigate the actions of drugs and hormones which influence intraocular pressure (IOP), we have been measuring receptor binding characteristics and dose-response effects using individual target cells from the anterior segment. Similar methods have also permitted us to develop sensitive radio-receptor assays for glucocorticoids and beta adrenergic antagonists. These methods provide a means to obtain new and potentially useful information regarding the efficacy and specificity of ocular drug therapy.
