TUG is a new and novel method of treating glaucoma that offers a comfortable, repeatable means of decreasing intraocular pressure. It is easily performed and has been shown to have a significant additive effect when used as an adjunct to pharmaceutical agent or as an initial glaucoma treatment. Due to its ease of use, potential portability, and repeatable qualities, it has the potential for changing the way glaucoma is treated today. The stages of the development of the device and treatment method are described.
