Abstract:
Systems and methods for wireless glaucoma therapy involving the administration of energy to an eye of a mammalian subject in a therapeutically effective amount sufficient to (1) decrease the inflow of aqueous humor into the anterior segment of the eye and/or (2) increase the outflow of aqueous humor from the anterior segment of the eye. Systems and methods involve the use of wireless power transfer (WPT) and optional stimulus coils adapted to be positioned on and/or within the eye. A Frensel lens is also disclosed for vision correction, which may be used alone or in combination with the system for wireless glaucoma therapy.
