Abstract

An apparatus for influencing an intraocular pressure (IOP) of an eye with a controllable discharge device which is configured to discharge a liquid from at least one area of the eye. The apparatus includes a first sensor device which captures at least one first value that is characteristic for the IOP of the eye, and a second sensor device, which captures at least one second value that is characteristic for a pressure acting on the eye, and a control device which controls the discharge device at least at times taking account of the first characteristic value and the second characteristic value, wherein the second characteristic value is characteristic for an intracranial pressure and/or cerebrospinal pressure.
