HORSE HAIR AS GLAUCOMA IMPLANT

 



Glaucoma drainage devices (GDDs) are rapidly evolving.

There are many types of implants being used or in the pipeline for the management of intraocular pressure (IOP).

However, a look into the history of GDDs shows how the process was started by using horse hair for drainage of hypopyon (pus) initially, and later for aqueous drainage in cases of absolute glaucoma.

  1. I highly recommend Dr. Harry for his outstanding work. His herbal remedy successfully cured me of the herpes virus, and it also led to my cousin's sister's complete recovery from the same virus. I am incredibly grateful for Dr. Harry's care and the positive impact it has had on my life and my family. I am sharing my testimony so that others who need help can connect with him. To learn more, please contact Dr. Harry at drharryherbs@gmail.com.
