Abstract :
There is no cure for glaucoma, which affects around 65 million people worldwide and is the second-most common cause of blindness in developed countries. Even with vigilant monitoring, drugs, and surgery, some patients go on to lose their sight. For these patients, hope could come in the form of a gold-ringed contact lens.
