Abstract: Embodiments include methods, apparatuses, and systems for reducing elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in a patient to either prevent or treat open-angle glaucoma. Heat is applied to the trabecular meshwork in the patient's eye without damaging proteins in the trabecular meshwork. The application of heat to the trabecular meshwork has the effect of relaxing or loosening protein clogs or other inhibitors in the trabecular meshwork, which are either reducing or obstructing of the outflow of aqueous humor, thereby increasing the patient's IOP and causing ocular hypertension (OHT). By loosening or relaxing clogs or other inhibitors in the trabecular meshwork, the outflow path for aqueous humor is increased or restored, which can lower IOP and either prevent or treat glaucoma. Force may also be applied to the patient's eye to apply pressure to the trabecular meshwork to further assist in the loosening or relaxing of clogs or other inhibitors in the trabecular meshwork.
Abstract translation: 实施方案包括用于降低患者眼内压升高（IOP）以预防或治疗开角型青光眼的方法，装置和系统。 热量被施加到患者眼睛中的小梁网，而不损伤小梁网中的蛋白质。 对小梁网应用热量具有放松或松动小梁网中的蛋白质堵塞物或其他抑制剂的作用，其减少或阻碍房水流出，从而增加患者的眼压并引起眼高压（OHT） 。 通过在小梁网中松动或松弛堵塞物或其他抑制剂，房水的流出路径增加或恢复，这可以降低IOP并预防或治疗青光眼。 力也可以应用于患者的眼睛，以向小梁网施加压力，以进一步协助松动或松弛小梁网中的堵塞物或其它抑制剂。
