A shunt for the eye, often referred to as an ocular shunt, is a medical device used to manage intraocular pressure in conditions like glaucoma. It helps facilitate the drainage of excess aqueous humor from the eye, thereby reducing pressure and preventing damage to the optic nerve. These devices can vary in design and placement, but their primary goal is to improve eye health and preserve vision. Shunts are typically used when other treatments, such as medication or laser therapy, are insufficient.
In long shunt the shunt field winding is in parallel to both generator and series field. In short shunt the shunt field is in parallel to generator only.
