So far the only method to treat glaucoma is to lower IOP by medication or surgery. Early detection is vital to stop the progress of the disease, but vision loss cannot be regained. 67 MILLION GLAUCOMA PATIENTS WORLD-WIDE. 6 MILLION OF THEM ARE BLIND. OVER 50% OF PATIENTS ARE UNDIAGNOSED. MOST IMPORTANT, AND ONLY METHOD TO SCREEN MASSES IS RAPID IOP MEASURING.
