Foursight Medical is a company developing an innovative surgical device for glaucoma treatment.

• Glaucoma is a chronic, neurodegenerative disease, and the world’s leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide.
• Glaucoma has several risk factors: diabetes, hypertension, and family history.

Glaucoma happens through these steps:

1. Buildup of a fluid (aqueous humor) in the eye’s anterior chamber.
2. This leads to an increase in IOP (intra-ocular pressure).
3. High IOP leads to optic nerve damage.
