Abnormal IOP

There are several types of glaucoma. The two main types are open-angle and angle-closure.  “Open-angle” means that the angle where the iris meets the cornea is as wide and open as it should be.  Open-angle glaucoma is also called primary or chronic glaucoma.  It develops due to calcified trabecular meshwork, trabecular meshwork occlusion, and episcleral venous pressure.  It is the most common type of glaucoma, affecting about three million Americans.  These are marked by an increase of intraocular pressure (IOP), or pressure inside the eye.  Eye pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). Normal eye pressure ranges from 12-22 mm Hg, and eye pressure of greater than 22 mm Hg is considered higher than normal. Open-angle glaucoma, the most common form of glaucoma, accounting for at least 90% of all glaucoma cases:

·        Is caused by the slow clogging of the drainage canals, resulting in increaed eye pressure

·        Has a wide and open angle between the iris and cornea

·        Develops slowly and is a lifelong condition

·        Has symptoms and damage that are not noticed.

Vision loss from glaucoma occurs when the eye pressure is too high for the specific individual and damages the optic nerve.  The peripheral vision is usually affected first.  The changes in vision may be so gradual that they not noticed until a lot of vision loss has occurred.  In time, if the glaucoma is not treated, central vision will also be decreased and then lost; this is how visual impairment from glaucoma is most often noticed.

Glaucoma with abnormal IOP can now be treated by nano-grade eye drops.  The issue of trabecular meshwork occlusion can be solved. As a result, intraocular pressure (IOP) will go back to the normal level.  At the same time, optic nerve will be regenerated.  These are the reasons that a patien's vision can be gradually restored.

Normal Tension

Normal tension glaucoma (NTG), a common form of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), is an eye disease, a neuropathy of the optic nerve, that shows all the characteristics of "traditional" glaucoma except one: the elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) - the classic hallmark of glaucoma - is missing. Normal tension glaucoma is in many cases closely associated with general issues of blood circulation and of organ perfusion like arterial hypotension, metabolic syndrome, and Flammer syndrome.

It is now widely estimated that a larger percentage of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) are suffering from normal tension glaucoma: probably half of all POAG patients in Europe and the majority of POAG patients in East Asia. Among Americans of Japanese descent, for instance, the prevalence of NTG is about four times as high as the prevalence of the "classical glaucoma" with an IOP of 22 mm Hg and higher.

Without treatment, NTG leads to progressive visual field loss and in the last consequence to blindness. The mainstay of conventional glaucoma therapy, reducing IOP by pressure-lowering eye drops or by surgery, is applied in cases of NTG as well. The rationale: the lower the IOP, the less the risk of ganglion cell loss and thus in the long run of visual function. However, the effectiveness of such therapy is very limited.

NTG can be treated by using nano-grade eye drops.  During the treatment, optic nerve will be regenerated.  This is something that no other eye drops on the market can offer you such result except ours.
