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 13):
A method of treating glaucoma, in a human eye, comprising:\n imparting varying pressure on one of: a central cornea, a side cornea, and a sclera of said human eye using a coupling mechanism; monitoring imagery produced by an OCT-A scanner and observing aqueous flow along the aqueous pathway, for identifying areas of resistance to aqueous drainage; and excising at least a portion of said areas of resistance using a laser based on said monitoring, for producing a channel for proper drainage of aqueous humor from said human eye.
