MIGS – Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery – iStent® by Glaukos

Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery   iStent® glaucoma surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that treats open-angle glaucoma, a condition causing increased eye pressure. The surgeon implants a tiny iStent® device into the eye’s drainage system. This improves fluid outflow and lowers intraocular pressure (IOP). Here’s how the surgery typically works: Preparation: Before the procedure, your ophthalmologist applies local anesthesia to…

What is Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP)

Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) occurs when pressure inside the eye increases. This happens due to an imbalance in the production and drainage of aqueous humor, the clear fluid that fills the eye’s front portion. Normally, aqueous humor flows in and out to maintain balanced pressure. When drainage fails, elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) develops. High IOP can damage the optic nerve,…
