Details.
A minimally invasive glaucoma surgery procedure in which a curved flexible stent is implanted into Schlemm's canal to widen the natural drainage channel. It is suitable for people with mild-to-moderate open-angle glaucoma who require additional treatment to glaucoma eye drops and laser, or who do not tolerate eye drops. The procedure uses a 2 mm incision, usually takes minutes, and recovery is rapid. Patients should follow their doctor's preoperative instructions, including medication and fasting guidance. Antibiotic and anti-inflammatory eye drops may be prescribed for up to one month after surgery.
