http://www.nucleusinc.com/medical-animation Glaucoma is a group of diseases that can damage the eye's optic nerve and result in vision loss and blindness. This 3D medical animation depicts the anatomy and physiology of the eye and demonstrates the different surgical techniques commonly used to treat glaucoma. The optic nerve connects the retina to the brain. The retina is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. A healthy optic nerve is necessary for good vision. In the front of the eye is a space called the anterior chamber. A clear fluid flows continuously in and out of the chamber and nourishes nearby tissues. The fluid leaves the chamber at the open angle where the cornea and iris meet. When the fluid reaches the angle, it flows through a spongy meshwork, like a drain, and leaves the eye. Sometimes, when the fluid reaches the angle, it passes too slowly through the meshwork drain. As the fluid builds up, the pressure inside the eye rises to a level that may damage the optic nerve. When the optic nerve is damaged from increased pressure, open-angle glaucoma--and vision loss--may result. The three common treatments for glaucoma are Laser Trabeculoplasty, Cyclophotocoagulation and Trabeculectomy. ANH00002

El Glaucoma y las Cataratas se curan con gotas, la cirugía ahora es obsoleta.

Yo descubrí la manera de remover los depósitos proteicos que obstruyen el drenaje trabecular, sin necesidad de quirófano, con lo cual la creación de fistulas y la colocación de válvulas quedan como algo obsoleto

Burning or cutting holes in the trabecular meshwork?

Does that not completely negate the reason there was a filter there in the first place?!
