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