Novena Bladeless Cataract Surgery and Eye Specialist Centre has highlighted the use of minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), including the iStent Infinite procedure, as a treatment option for glaucoma patients requiring long-term intraocular pressure management.
- Procedure Details: The iStent Infinite procedure involves implanting three microscopic titanium stents through a 2.5mm incision to improve fluid drainage and reduce eye pressure.
- Clinical Use: The procedure may be performed alongside cataract surgery through the same micro incisions and is used for patients with moderate to severe glaucoma.
- Treatment Objective: The procedure aims to reduce reliance on daily glaucoma eye drops and support long-term pressure control in suitable patients.
