How will the obstruction of the canal of Schlemm will result?
It results in reduced intraocular pressure
What is the name of the procedure that is performed to check the intraocular pressure of the eye?

False
What is an applanation?

What helps maintain the intraocular pressure located in the anterior part of the eye?
Intraocular pressure is 16 mm Hg and helps to maintain the shape of the eyeball. Intraocular pressure is maintained by a jelly-like substance, called the vitreous humor, which is located in the posterior cavity of the eye. According to the eyeball's structure it appears in this order: cornea, anterior cavity, pupil, iris, lens, posterior cavity (containing vitreous humor).
When was Raise the Pressure created?
Raise the Pressure was created in 1994.
What is the purpose of a goniotomy?
to clear the obstruction to aqueous outflow from the eye, which in turn lowers the intraocular pressure (IOP).
