trabecular meshwork

The iris may be pulled up against the trabecular meshwork.

The doctor makes small burns in the trabecular meshwork.

In people with narrow angles, this can uncover the trabecular meshwork.

From here, it flows through a structure known as the trabecular meshwork to enter the normal body circulation.

A trabeculoplasty is a modification of the trabecular meshwork.

The San Francisco team has also found that cells in the trabecular meshwork do not regenerate.

The goal of treatment is to reverse, and prevent, contact between iris and trabecular meshwork.

A specially designed probe is used to tear through the trabecular meshwork to open it and allow fluid flow.

The trabecular meshwork is responsible for most of the outflow of aqueous humor.

These abnormal cells retain their ability to divide and extend onto the trabecular meshwork to cause glaucoma in up to 40% of cases.

Overproduction of pigment by these cells can block the trabecular meshwork through which fluid drains from the eye.

The angle refers to the area between the iris and cornea, through which fluid must flow to escape via the trabecular meshwork.

They reduce intra-ocular pressure by enhancing uveoscleral outflow and may also have some effect on the trabecular meshwork as well.

An opening is made in the trabecular meshwork, the group of tiny canals located in the drainage angle, where fluid leaves the eye.

The images below illustrate how Trabectome improves aqueous drainage by removing the damaged trabecular meshwork.

When the ciliary muscle contracts, it opens the trabecular meshwork through increased tension on the scleral spur.

When patients develop glaucoma, they have blockages in a porous structure, called the trabecular meshwork, that lets fluid drain from the eye into the blood.

These medicines reduce pressure in the eyes by increasing the drainage of fluid (aqueous humor) out of the eye through the trabecular meshwork.

Specifically, argon laser is used to improve drainage through the eye's trabecular meshwork, from which the aqueous humour drains.

Trabecular meshwork cells grown in the laboratory are also damaged by free radicals, Dr. Polansky and his colleagues found.

It is expressed in the trabecular meshwork and optic nerve head and may have a role in the development and normal function.

A surgical goniotomy involves cutting the fibers of the trabecular meshwork to allow aqueous fluid to flow more freely from the eye.

A newer type of laser trabeculoplasty uses a "cold" (nonthermal) laser to stimulate drainage in the trabecular meshwork.

In most cases, it also reduces the risk of developing chronic angle closure or of adhesions of the iris to the trabecular meshwork.

In SLT a laser is used to selectively target the melanocytes in the trabecular meshwork.
