This award will enable collaborative research between Dr. Marvin                L. Sears of the Yale University School of Medicine and Dr. Eichi                Yamada of Fukuoka University, Japan.  They will conduct studies on              the structure and function of the ocular ciliary epithelium in                  relation to intraocular pressure regulation.  How the ocular                    ciliary epithelia regulates aqueous inflow into the posterior                   chamber of the eye will be analyzed using coordinated anatomic,                 physiologic, and pharmacologic techniques.                                                                                                                      Understanding the fundamentals of aqueous humor formation by the                ciliary body in the eye is essential for continued progress in the              treatment of glaucoma, which can cause a progressive and                        irreversible loss of vision.  Dr. Sears has extensive experience                in ocular physiology and pharmacology, while Dr. Yamada is a                    renowned ocular anatomist.
