ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a device and method for monitoring the flow of aqueous humor within the eye. The invention provides that the aqueous flow rate and/or pattern within the anatomical structures of the eye can be determined by monitoring a traceable component. Such determination provides diagnostic indications of the degree and location of ocular disease associated with aqueous outflow, such as glaucoma, and can further provide post-treatment indications of effectiveness.
