How does pilocarpine lower intraocular pressure?
by ocular fluid outflow
What cosmetic implant covers the portion of the eye?
Intraocular
What are the risks for a laser capsulotomy?
One risk of laser capsulotomy is damage to the intraocular implant
What advantage do restrictive implants offer?
valves that automatically close if the intraocular pressure is too low. This is important because in the first few weeks after surgery (before the bleb forms), the aqueous fluid can flow unimpeded through the implant.
What does Intraocular pressures of 12mmHg mean?
Normal intraocular pressure is between 10 and 20 mmHg. I've also seen 15.5 +/- 2.75.
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?
TONOGRAPHY
What is the purpose of tube-shunt surgery?
The major known cause of glaucoma is a relative increase in intraocular pressure, or IOP. The purpose of glaucoma treatment, whether medical or surgical, is to lower the IOP.
What does tonometry measure?
Tonometry measures intraocular pressure (i.e. checks for glaucoma).
What is trabeculectomy surgery?
The purpose is to lower intraocular pressure in the treatment of glaucoma.
Which test measures intraoculare pressure?
Tonometry is the test that measures intraocular pressure.
The semicircular canals provide drainage within the eye to control intraocular pressure?
False
