Abstract
Glaucoma treatment apparatus and methodology employs a transcutaneous electronic wave to suppress pain and reduce intra-ocular pressure. A first positive contact electrode is placed at the temple of the head, and a second negative contact electrode is placed at the web of the ipsilateral hand. An electronic current wave comprising relatively high frequency pulses with a low frequency amplitude modulation is then applied between the first to the second electrodes.
