Development of a microstent system for minimally invasive glaucoma surgery

Development of a microstent system for minimally invasive glaucoma surgery

Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. An increased intraocular pressure (IOP) is known as major risk factor. Currently, drainage devices that are implanted by means of minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) represent a promising approach for IOP low-ering. Commercial...
