13. Computer-assisted method of mapping the surface curvature of the cornea.






14. Glaucoma causes...






15. Numerous different surgeries that facilitate the escape of excess aqueous humor from the eye to lower the intraocular pressure and a few that lower IOP by decreasing the production of aqueous humor.
