Intraocular pressure reduction and regulation system. 1981

E F Baehr, and W J McGannon, and J E Burnett, and S F Felder, and D H Shin

The IOP reduction and regulation system performs certain specific functions: it can be used to lower (or raise) IOP in a controlled way; it responds rapidly to maintain a selectable, set, minimum IOP under variable flow demands; and it reduces the rapid dynamic increases in IOP resulting from loads applied to the eye. The system has been tested and evaluated in the laboratory with a small test chamber and excised animal eyes and subsequently with anesthetized live animals. The system has also had limited clinical use in selected patients. An expanded program of laboratory and clinical investigations is planned.

D005901 Glaucoma An ocular disease, occurring in many forms, having as its primary characteristics an unstable or a sustained increase in the intraocular pressure which the eye cannot withstand without damage to its structure or impairment of its function. The consequences of the increased pressure may be manifested in a variety of symptoms, depending upon type and severity, such as excavation of the optic disk, hardness of the eyeball, corneal anesthesia, reduced visual acuity, seeing of colored halos around lights, disturbed dark adaptation, visual field defects, and headaches.
