Fortunately, the aqueous humor in our eyes usually keeps IOP balanced for us. (allaboutvision.com)
In most cases, this happens because aqueous humor can't drain from the eye quickly enough. (allaboutvision.com)
It can also happen if aqueous flow is restricted earlier along its pathway or if the eye produces too much aqueous humor. (allaboutvision.com)
The terms open angle and angle closure describe the basic structural issue within the eye that is disrupting aqueous flow. (allaboutvision.com)
To keep our IOP balanced, the aqueous humor has to be able to flow freely along a specific path through and then out of the eye. (allaboutvision.com)
In angle-closure forms, the aqueous can't leave the eye because the iris is blocking the drainage angle. (allaboutvision.com)

The wavelength of the laser radiation is significant because only light within the wavelength range of approximately 400 to 1400 nanometers can penetrate the eye sufficiently to damage the retina. (microscopyu.com)

You'll need some time to recover from the operation and get used to wearing an artificial eye. (guidedogs.org.uk)
The scarcity of human eye donors has resulted in the development of innovative solutions such as artificial corneas. (marketsandmarkets.com)
If this doesn't work, try rinsing your eyes out with clean water or using artificial tears to wash them out. (optometrists.org)
