Glaucoma is a major sight threatening disease in our community, affecting an estimated 60 million people worldwide. This project investigates a new laser based method for reducing intraocular pressure, the major risk factor in glaucoma. The novel approach is to create a selectable number of drainage channels for excess fluid in the eye to drain away, thereby restoring normal intraocular pressure.

青光眼是威胁我们社区视力的一种主要疾病，全世界估计有6000万人受到影响。本项目研究一种新的基于激光的方法来降低青光眼的主要危险因素--眼压。新的方法是创建一个可选择的引流通道，用于排出眼睛中多余的液体，从而恢复正常的眼压。
