Diagnosing glaucoma involves a comprehensive eye evaluation, including a review of your medical history and a series of tests to measure intraocular pressure, corneal thickness, peripheral vision, and optic nerve health.
While glaucoma cannot be reversed, early detection and consistent treatment can significantly slow or prevent further vision loss. Common treatment options include:
iDose TR
iDose TR (travoprost intracameral implant) is an FDA-approved, tiny implantable device designed to continuously release medication inside the eye to treat open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It provides a long-term alternative to daily eye drops for up to 3 years, with clinical trials showing 8 out of 10 patients remained drop-free at 12 months
iStent
iStent is a Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) that uses a tiny implant (often two) to improve eye fluid outflow and lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in mild-to-moderate open-angle glaucoma patients. Usually done during cataract surgery, it is a safe, quick procedure that reduces dependence on eye drops and has a low complication risk.
XEN Gel Stent
The XEN Gel Stent is a minimally invasive (MIGS) outpatient procedure that lowers high eye pressure in glaucoma patients by implanting a tiny, flexible tube-about the length of an eyelash-to create a new drainage channel. It is used for refractory open-angle, pseudoexfoliative, or pigmentary glaucoma, often preventing the need for more invasive surgeries
