This procedure helps open up the drainage in the anterior chamber (Trabecular Meshwork) which helps lower the IOP
This is done to create a separate drainage channel for patients with narrow angles
Essentially, we blast a hole straight through the peripheral part of the Iris!
After the procedure, these patients can be safely dilated
iDose is a Travoprost implant to control the IOP
Fun Fact: Dr. Teymoorian was the first MD in the entire country to do an iDose upon its approval!
Durysta is a Bimatoprost pellet that is inserted into the eye right in the exam room
It lasts about 15-20 weeks, but as per the published study (and from Dr. Teymoorian) it usually lasts up to 1-2 years!
This is used in conjunction with cataract surgery to help lower the IOP
This is used on it's own to help lower the IOP
This is a procedure that ablates and removes the removes the trabecular meshwork and the inner wall of Schlemm's canal
This gives direct access for the aqueous humor to drain out and decrease IOP
A stent that creates a permanent channel to drain the aqueous into the subconjunctival space
Used is multiple medication or laser therapy fails to lower IOP adequately
AKA: Micropulse P3
Micropulse energy is delivered through the sclera and aimed at the ciliary body
The energy destroys the pigmented ciliary body epithelium which decreases production of aqueous humor
