  2. Fluorescence biomodulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescence_Biomodulation

    Fluorescence biomodulation is a form of photobiomodulation, which utilizes fluorescence energy to induce multiple transduction pathways that can modulate biological processes through the activation of photoacceptors found within many different cell and tissue types. According to Magalhães and Yoshimura, photoacceptors are molecules that do not ...

  3. Low-level laser therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-level_laser_therapy

    The transcranial photobiomodulation or transcranial low level light therapy is limited in neuromodulation due to several reasons: An excessive dose of radiation can be harmful. [ 22 ] Therefore, at adequate doses of light there may be stimulation of growth, but at high doses excessive singlet oxygen may be produced and its chemical action may ...

  4. Lens induced glaucomas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens_induced_glaucomas

    The crystalline lens inside the human eye has been implicated as a causative factor in many forms of glaucoma. Lens induced glaucomas or Lens related glaucomas are either open-angle or closed-angle glaucomas that can occur due to a neglected advanced cataract (cloudiness of the lens) or a dislocated lens. It is a type of secondary glaucoma.

  5. Glaucoma surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaucoma_surgery

    Glaucoma is a group of diseases affecting the optic nerve that results in vision loss and is frequently characterized by raised intraocular pressure (IOP). There are many glaucoma surgeries, and variations or combinations of those surgeries, that facilitate the escape of excess aqueous humor from the eye to lower intraocular pressure, and a few that lower IOP by decreasing the production of ...

  6. Pigment dispersion syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigment_dispersion_syndrome

    There is no cure, but pigmentary glaucoma can be managed with eye drops or treated with simple surgeries. If caught early and monitored, chances of glaucoma are greatly reduced. A 2016 Cochrane Review sought to determine the effectiveness of YAG laser iridotomy versus no laser iridotomy for pigment dispersion syndrome and pigmentary glaucoma ...

  7. Visual impairment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_impairment

    Glaucoma is an eye disease often characterized by increased pressure within the eye or intraocular pressure (IOP). [61] Glaucoma causes visual field loss as well as severs the optic nerve. [62] Early diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma in patients is imperative because glaucoma is triggered by non-specific levels of IOP. [62]

  8. Nd:YAG laser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nd:YAG_laser

    Slit lamp photograph of posterior capsular opacification visible a few months after implantation of intraocular lens in eye, seen on retroillumination. Nd:YAG lasers are used in ophthalmology to correct posterior capsular opacification, [6] after cataract surgery, for peripheral iridotomy in patients with chronic [7] and acute angle-closure glaucoma, [8] where it has largely superseded ...

  9. Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimally_invasive...

    Micro-invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) is the latest advance in surgical treatment for glaucoma, which aims to reduce intraocular pressure by either increasing outflow of aqueous humor or reducing its production. MIGS comprises a group of surgical procedures which share common features. [1]
