Third Eye Diagnostics, Inc. is developing the Cerepress™, a non-invasive, hand-held intracranial pressure monitor that gathers information from the patient's un-dilated eye. The Cerepress™ measures blood pressure in the eye's central retinal vein (CRV) and blood velocity in the ophthalmic artery, which taken together highly correlate to ...
Cyclodestruction or cycloablation is a surgical procedure done in management of glaucoma. Cyclodestruction reduces intraocular pressure (IOP) of the eye by decreasing production of aqueous humor by the destruction of ciliary body. Until the development of safer and less destructive techniques like micropulse diode cyclophotocoagulation and ...
