  • Eye treatments using synthetic thyroid hormone compositions
    Patent number: 7122579
    Abstract: The present invention involves the discovery that synthetic thyroid hormones can be used as compositions to reduce intraocular pressure in vivo. Methods of screening synthetic thyroid hormones for effect on intraocular pressure, aqueous pressure, hydraulic conductivity, hyaluronic acid secretion, and extracellular matrix assembly are provided. Methods of treating glaucoma and treating excess intraocular pressure with synthetic thyroid hormones and compositions therefore are also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 25, 2003
    Date of Patent: October 17, 2006
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Daniel M. Schwartz, John D. Baxter, Michele D. Jumper, Thomas S. Scanlan
