In the United States, glaucoma is the 2nd leading cause of blindness. About 2 million Americans are affected, with the number growing as the population ages. Of those, about 60,000 are legally blind. If detected and treated early, glaucoma need not cause blindness nor severe vision loss. However, at present there is no cure for glaucoma. This group of diseases has a single feature in that it produces progressive damage to the optic nerve optic nerve: see vision.  due to increased pressure within the eyeball. As the optic nerve deteriorates, blind spots and patterns develop. If left untreated, the result may be total blindness.

The initial studies on the Company's patented device and process indicate that it yields effective results for approximately 75% to 80% of all people with such conditions. Certain ethnic populations, such as Asians, have a higher incidence of the condition. Noting the worldwide incidence of the condition, the Company concludes there is a multimillion-dollar market for the Company's patented process, equipment and rings.

The approval of the patent entitled "Open Angle Glaucoma Treatment Apparatus and Method" should allow the Company to achieve a significant market advantage over any future competitor.

In addition, the Company will be changing the labeling on the equipment from a "vacuum fixation device" to a "glaucoma treatment device". This labeling requires FDA FDA
