Glaucoma is a serious eye disease, caused by the dysfunction of the small multilayer structure in the eye, the so-called human trabecular meshwork (HTM). In this project, we have successfully designed and printed different HTM models, using a high-precision 3D printing technique that utilizes molten polymers (medical plastics). The optimized prints had an architecture and strength similar to the real HTM. The control of fluid flowing through the printed HTM was obtained, however, needs to be further optimized to match the values in a human eye. Therefore, the work is continued.
