Computational modeling of fluid flow and intra-ocular pressure following glaucoma surgery.
BACKGROUND: Glaucoma surgery is the most effective means for lowering intraocular pressure by providing a new route for fluid to exit the eye. This new pathway is through the sclera of the eye into sub-conjunctival tissue, where a fluid filled bleb typically forms under the conjunctiva. The long-ter...
