Did you know that there is a medicine to replace the traditional eye drops used to treat glaucoma? 
Durysta is a tiny, dissolvable implant that Dr. María Soledad Romero, MD places in the patient’s eye. As Durysta dissolves, it automatically releases medicine to help reduce the high pressure inside his/her eye.The second image shows the spot in which the implant was performed.Just like with prescription drops, the objective is to reduce the intraocular pressure in patients with open angle glaucoma, to prevent damage to the optic nerve.By using Durysta, you can achieve more independence, since you won’t need to worry about forgetting to use your glaucoma drops.
