Research abstract
DESCRIPTION (From the Applicant's Abstract):
The purpose of the present proposal is to develop a glaucoma shunt system which
can be surgically implanted in human eyes. The specific goal of this particular
shunt system is to be able to counteract clogging by fibrosis. In the course of
Phase 1 of the present project we will create prototypes and carry out
extensive testing of he most critical and most innovative component of this
system. By establishing the feasibility of his component we will, in effect,
because this is the critical component in the shunt system, establish the
feasibility of the overall system.
