A Smarter Approach to Glaucoma Management

Glaucoma is a lifelong condition, but managing it doesn’t have to mean relying solely on daily eye drops. Many patients struggle with drops due to side effects, difficulty with application, or simply forgetting to use them.

When eye pressure remains high despite medications, alternative treatments may be the best option. That’s where iStent inject and iDose TR comes in. With these options, glaucoma management can be simpler, more consistent, and tailored to your needs.

iStent: A Micro-Implant for Long-Term Eye Pressure Control

iStent is one of the world’s smallest medical implants, designed to help fluid drain more efficiently from the eye, lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma.

This tiny device can be placed during cataract surgery to help lower eye pressure, making it a seamless addition to an existing procedure.

During glaucoma surgery, 2 tiny stents are placed into the eye’s trabecular meshwork (the drainage system). These stents create a pathway for fluid to drain more efficiently, helping to lower IOP.

iStent works continuously, reducing pressure often without the need for additional steps.

iStent inject offers a seamless way to manage glaucoma alongside cataract surgery, providing lasting pressure control without the hassle of daily drops:

Minimally invasive: Added to cataract surgery with no extra recovery time
Continuous pressure control: Works 24/7 without patient effort
Reduces reliance on drops: Fewer medication-related side effects

iDose TR: A Sustained-Release Glaucoma Treatment

iDose TR offers a completely different approach—delivering glaucoma medication directly into the eye through a tiny implant. Instead of relying on daily eye drops, iDose TR provides continuous medication release over an extended period, helping to keep eye pressure stable.

How iDose TR Works

A tiny implant containing glaucoma medication is placed inside the eye. The implant slowly releases the drug over months, helping maintain stable IOP. When used up, it can be replaced with a new implant as needed.

Benefits of iDose TR

If you’re struggling with eye drop compliance, iDose TR could help make glaucoma management easier:

No more missed doses: Medication is delivered automatically
Long-term stability: Keeps pressure controlled consistently
Simplifies your routine: Eliminates the hassle of daily drops
