A type of electrical current in which the direction of the flow of electrons switches back and forth. In the US, the current that comes from a wall outlet is alternating; it cycles back and forth sixty times each second. The current that flows in a flashlight, on the other hand, is direct current (DC), which does not alternate.

is the most common type of laser surgery and is usually used to treat open angle glaucoma. During this procedure, you sit facing the laser machine. The laser "spot" is applied to a special contact lens held on the front of the eye and reflected onto the drainage meshwork inside the eye. You may see flashes of red or green light as the laser is applied. This procedure allows more fluid to be released and relieves some of the pressure.
