And a lot of people have been really excited about the iStent; and in Canada, Dr. Ike Ahmed - who is an outstanding surgeon, has been a big proponent of the iStent. And for him, I think, it works pretty well and I'll tell you why it may work better for him in Canada than it would for us here in the US. What happens with the iStent...this is actually Dr. Ike Ahmed's procedure. This is Gonioscopic surgery. So, that's a Gonioprism. And this little device is the iStent. It's a little snorkel-like device and that there is the trabecular meshwork. What we're seeing here is trabecular meshwork and he's taking the iStent and his pushing it in through the trabecular meshwork work and there it goes right into the canal -Schlemm's canal. Once it's in Schlemm's canal, he's going to release it and you see a little blood reflux out and that's because...remember that the canal is connected to the collector channels which is connected into the Venus system, so when you actually open up the system you can get some reflux of blood that reflux of blood is a good thing that shows you that you've actually gotten into the system and the system is patent.
