Baker’s Solution to treat Glaucoma

Can a baker that bakes bread and pancake able to provide a better solution to treat Glaucoma? The answer appears ‘yes’ as per the scientists at the University College London (UCL). The baker prepares the barter using flour, egg and milk as recipes and places the mix on a circular shaped dish bakes it in the oven by heating it to certain temperature so that the fluid part like the milk and the egg evaporate to give a perfect shape to the pancake.

The scientists of UCL have observed as many as 14 types pancakes prepared across the countries of the globe and have come to an understanding on how to treat Glaucoma, an eye disease that damages optic nerve, leading to vision loss.

The scientists are of the opinion that spongy, tasty, smooth and perfect shape of the pancake can be achieved only when the ingredients in the mix are of exact ratio and the temperature is adjusted perfectly to bake it.

Similarly, the scientists need to work on a mathematical equation that could evaporate the fluids and avoid the pressure these fluids exerting within the eyes, damaging optic nerve.

Surgeons should find a route to flush-out the fluids by carefully cutting the flexible sheets of sclera, says Peng Khaw, from the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology. Scientists, engineers and mathematicians are busy working on the exact solution.

We wish them all the best so that millions that are losing vision due to Glaucoma can sleigh with relief.
