2022年12月7日 · The goal with implanting this stent is to reduce intraocular pressure so the person no longer needs to use their glaucoma eye drops. It might also reduce the person’s need to have a potentially riskier surgery for glaucoma at some point in the future.

2024年5月2日 · A glaucoma stent is a tiny device that is implanted into the eye to help regulate intraocular pressure, working as a small drainage system that allows excess fluid to flow out of the eye.

2024年9月16日 · A glaucoma drainage implant is a small device placed in the eye to treat glaucoma. There are several types of glaucoma drainage implants. All have a soft, flexible tube connected to a small plate. That plate is very thin and curved to fit comfortably against your eyeball. With glaucoma, aqueous humor does not drain properly from the front of ...

2025年1月1日 · Studies have shown that eye stents are safe and effective in lowering intraocular pressure and reducing the need for glaucoma medications. Potential risks of eye stent implantation include infection, inflammation, and device migration, but overall complication rates are …

iStent infinite ® is designed to maximize outflow while minimizing disruption to natural anatomy by occupying only 3% of Schlemm’s canal, thereby leaving 97% untouched. This, coupled with a patented multidirectional stent design, helps bypass resistance and restore physiologic outflow.

The iStent® Trabecular Micro-Bypass Stent (Models GTS100R and GTS100L) is indicated for use in conjunction with cataract surgery for the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) in adult patients with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma currently treated with ocular hypotensive medication.

2024年5月21日 · Stent implantation is a relatively new treatment option for glaucoma that has shown promising results in reducing intraocular pressure and preserving vision. During the procedure, a tiny stent is implanted into the eye to create a permanent opening in the drainage system, allowing fluid to flow out more easily and reducing pressure.

2024年5月20日 · One of the treatment options for glaucoma is the use of a Xen Stent, a small device that is implanted in the eye to help reduce intraocular pressure. The Xen Stent is designed to create a new drainage pathway for fluid in the eye, allowing it to flow out more easily and reducing pressure.

In the rapidly evolving era of less invasive glaucoma surgeries, Xen gel stent offers a new means of lowering IOP for patients with advanced open angle glaucoma.

Researchers at the University of Southern California’s Roski Eye Institute have come up with an effective alternative to traditional surgery in the form of a new type of collagen-derived gelatin stent that is no wider than a human hair.
