20100150920System and Method for Identifying Biomarkers in Ocular Fluid That Are Indicative of Ocular Disease - A system and method for testing ocular fluid, such as vitreous fluid. The testing can be used to both determine if an ocular disease is present and to quantify the effectiveness of a treatment for that ocular disease. A sample of ocular fluid is drawn from a patient and tested for the presence of targeted biomarkers and for the level of those biomarkers. The level of the biomarkers in the patients sample is compared to the normal range. If the level of the targeted biomarker falls outside the normal range, an abnormal condition is recognized. The effectiveness of any treatment can be analyzed by repeating the testing process. After a treatment, ocular fluid is again drawn. The biomarker levels can be identified and compared to those taken before treatment began. If the level of the targeted biomarkers trends toward normal, the treatment is known to be effective.06-17-2010
