Definition

Is a procedure to treat the glaucoma descending the ocular pressure. Two common methods exist: that of laser and the incision. Normally the eye bathes with the watery humor, a crystalline liquid that flows inside and out of the previous camera of the eye. In most cases of glaucoma, this liquid drains very slow out of the eye. While the liquid accumulates, the ocular pressure is increased. If this pressure is not controlled, can damage the optic nerve and other parts of the eye, and to lose the visit. It is very important to note that while the surgery of glaucoma can save its view, not the improvement or restores it.
