Glaucoma is a major cause of blindness in our community. We are developing a new surgical procedure to treat glaucoma. The technique is based on the implantation of a tiny drainage tube inside the eye. This allows the eye's natural fluid to escape at the required rate. Insufficient drainage, or over production of fluid in the eye's of glaucoma patients is responsible for the high pressures inside the eye that characterise this disease. A simple, safe, and reliable surgical procedure to lower intraocular pressure would be a major benefit to the almost 67 million glaucoma patients worldwide, and would relieve the current need for lifelong medication.

青光眼是我们社区失明的主要原因。我们正在开发一种治疗青光眼的新手术方法。这项技术是基于在眼睛内植入一个微小的引流管。这可以让眼睛的天然液体以所需的速度排出。青光眼患者眼内引流不足或液体产生过多是导致眼内高压的原因，这种疾病是这种疾病的特征。一种简单、安全和可靠的降低眼压的手术程序将为全球近6700万青光眼患者带来重大好处，并将缓解目前对终身药物的需求。
