It is intended to provide an animal model which shows a naturally
occurring eye disease symptom, particularly ocular hypertension and/or
retinal degeneration. The invention relates to a non-human animal for eye
disease model in which the function of Vav2 gene and/or Vav3 gene
have/has been impaired. Because the animal shows a naturally occurring
eye disease symptom, such as ocular hypertension and/or retinal
degeneration without administering a drug or placing it in a special
growth environment, it can be used as a model useful for elucidation of
onset mechanism of eye disease or evaluation for therapeutic agent for
eye disease. When it is applied for such a purpose, because it is not
affected by an exogenous factor, which is conventionally administered for
artificially inducing eye disease, it reflects a natural pathology,
therefore, the clinical and industrial usefulness thereof is high.
