iStent

iStent® by Glaukos is a revolutionary NICE-approved micro-device designed to help lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in people with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma. Roughly the size of a grain of sand, this tiny implant is placed in the eye surgically. This can be during cataract surgery or as a standalone procedure to help improve your eye’s natural fluid outflow and reduce the pressure buildup that can damage the optic nerve. The medical eye clinic is the only private facility offering  this state of the art treatment in Devon.
