Abstract:
A system and method for diagnosing and treating glaucoma is presented. The system imparts pressure on the anterior chamber of a eye using a coupling mechanism, while capturing three-dimensional imagery of the eye using optical coherence tomography angiography. Applying pressure in various areas of the eye, imparts changes that can help detect parts of the eye, or diagnose certain disorders related to the drainage of aqueous humor. A controller coupled to the optical coherence tomography angiography scanner may be used to guide a laser for excision of the trabecular meshwork for enhancing aqueous humor drainage thus lowering intraocular pressure and preventing glaucoma.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for diagnosing glaucoma, in a human eye, the system comprising:\n a coupling mechanism adapted for imparting pressure on an anterior region of said human eye; and an Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCT-A) scanner producing three-dimensional imagery of regions of said human eye while said pressure is being imparted on said anterior region of said human eye by said coupling mechanism; wherein the coupling mechanism comprises a corneal portion and an episcleral portion; and wherein said corneal portion comprises at least one corneal central piston, and at least one corneal side piston.
