New Glaucoma treatment technologies

The past few months has seen the introduction of new technologies, that has led to treating glaucoma easier, safer, and more effective for patients. These advancements in Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) offer hope for better outcomes with less hassle.

iDose TR Implant
A small device called the iDose TR is making waves in glaucoma treatment. This tiny implant is placed in the eye and slowly releases medication over time to lower eye pressure. It’s a game-changer for people tired of using daily eye drops, as it works continuously for months, improving convenience and consistency.

Automated Laser Treatments
A new system called the External Automatic Glaucoma Laser (EAGLE) is making laser treatments simpler and more accessible. This device ensures the laser is applied with precision, helping reduce eye pressure in a non-invasive way. It’s an exciting option for those who prefer a simpler, outpatient procedure.

Femtosecond Laser Technology
Advances in laser technology are creating new ways to improve fluid drainage in the eye. A special laser, called a femtosecond laser, is now being used to make precise openings in the eye, helping to reduce pressure safely and effectively.

These innovations are making glaucoma treatments more effective and less stressful for patients. Contact us for more information.
