• Research summary

  Schlemm canal is normally present inside the eye to drain the excess fluid outside. Theoretically, if it collapses, high eye pressure might happen causing glaucoma.
  This study is trying to answer this question: Is it really true that the more dilation in the schlemm, the more reduction in the intra ocular pressure?
