2. 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] MIGS procedures involve a minimally invasive ...

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. Ocular tonometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocular_tonometry

   Ocular tonometry. Tonometry is the procedure that eye care professionals perform to determine the intraocular pressure (IOP), the fluid pressure inside the eye. It is an important test in the evaluation of patients at risk from glaucoma. [ 1] Most tonometers are calibrated to measure pressure in millimeters of mercury ( mmHg ), with the normal ...

7. Gonioscopy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonioscopy

   Gonioscopy. In ophthalmology, gonioscopy is a routine procedure that measures the angle between the iris and the cornea (the iridocorneal angle), using a goniolens (also known as a gonioscope) together with a slit lamp or operating microscope. [1] [2] Its use is important in diagnosing and monitoring various eye conditions associated with ...
