VITREOUS BIOMARKERS AND RELATED DIAGNOSTICS AND THERAPEUTICS

摘要

The present invention relates to the analysis and monitoring of ocular fluids for determining the physiological state of an organism, to monitor drug efficacy and dynamics, for early disease detection, as well as to certain molecular markers and fingerprints of identified molecules or molecule fragments in such analysis. An ophthalmic aspirating device is provided that allows the relatively non-invasive removal of small volumes of ocular vitreous fluid for diagnostic and other purposes.
