Cornea Iris Lens Trabecular meshwork (drainage system) Cornea Trabecular meshwork Iris
This is a close-up of the eye's drainage pathway. When the drain is clogged or develops scar tissue, fluid can't leave the eye and pressure builds up. This glaucoma procedure removes the clogged filter to let fluid drain from the eye again. We've created an unimpeded pathway for fluid to leave, improving the eye pressure.
