Application of intraocular pressure reduction and regulation system.
In some patients undergoing intraocular procedures, the intraocular pressure may remain dangerously high immediately before surgical penetration of the anterior chamber despite all available measures. A mechanical device, called an "Intraocular Pressure Reduction and Regulation System," has been devised as a means of reducing and regulating intraocular pressure immediately before and during intraocular procedures. The system has been used in selected glaucoma patients with satisfactory results.
