REQUEST AN APPOINTMENTGlaucoma Treatment With Hydrus Microstent
Hydrus Microstent is a procedure that helps reduce eye pressure in people with glaucoma. This minimally invasive technique is found to be very effective and can reduce or eliminate the need to take glaucoma drops in patients.
The Hydrus stent is an implant that is placed in the eye of a glaucoma patient to help fluids from the front of the eye flow easily through the Schlemm's canal. The implant is usually done along with cataract surgery. Call Shipp & Wooten Eye Center to get more information on this procedure.
SELECTIVE LASER TRABECULOPLASTY
The SLT procedure begins with the application of several eye drop medications, including an anesthetic drop to numb the eye, a drop to decrease the size of the pupil, and a drop to lower eye pressure.
A special contact lens is then placed on the eye to keep it open. The SLT laser is then applied to the eye to target the desired cells within the eye's drainage system. Some patients feel mild discomfort during treatment.
Selective laser trabeculoplasty, or SLT, is a laser surgery treatment for glaucoma. SLT laser treatment is used to lower the pressure within the eye, a primary issue with glaucoma. SLT laser treatment uses short pulses of a low energy laser to stimulate certain cells within the drainage system of the eye. This helps improve the drainage of fluid within the eye and reduces intraocular pressure. By reducing intraocular pressure, SLT laser surgery can lessen the impact of glaucoma on the optic nerve and preserve vision.
DURYSTA®
DURYSTA® is a tiny, dissolvable implant your eye doctor places in your eye
- The first and only FDA-approved dissolvable ocular implant to reduce eye pressure in people with open angle glaucoma or high eye pressure (ocular hypertension)
- Just 1 DURYSTA® implant reduced eye pressure for 15 weeks in clinical studies
- As DURYSTA® dissolves, it automatically releases medicine to help reduce high pressure inside your eye
Cyclo G6® Glaucoma Laser System
A Safe and Non-Incisional Way to Treat Glauoma
MicroPulse® Transscleral Laser Therapy is a safe and non-incisional procedure that helps to lower intraocular pressure in a broad range of glaucoma patients. MicroPulse TLT can be performed in less than seven minutes, and in most cases, patients can resume their normal routines the very next day following the procedure.
OMNI® Surgical System
The OMNI® Surgical System is indicated for canaloplasty (microcatheterization and transluminal viscodilation of Schlemm's canal) followed by trabeculotomy (cutting of trabecular meshwork) to reduce intraocular pressure in adult patients with primary open-angle glaucoma.
