Intraocular pressure (IOP) is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg). Laser can be used to reduce the eye intraocular pressure by either selective laser trabeculoplasty or YAG laser iridotomy.
Glaucoma Treatment

Two implanted iStents helping control intraocular pressure in glaucoma.
Involves a little operation to insert a tiny titanium tube iStent in the drainage angle of the eye. This consequently improves drainage and helps control eye pressure in patients with glaucoma.
Trabeculectomy surgery creates a new route for aqueous fluid to drain out of the eye, reducing the intraocular pressure.
