iStent® Trabecular Micro-Bypass for Glaucoma in Oklahoma City

The world’s tiniest medical device—iStent—is 20,000 times smaller than the intraocular lenses (IOL) used in your cataract surgery.  By increasing the eye’s ability to drain fluid, this technology is designed to reduce the pressure in your eye. iStent is implanted during your cataract surgery procedure. Once implanted, iStent will begin working to safely and effectively manage pressure. What’s more, patients who receive iStent may experience a reduction in glaucoma medications; but this will be at the discretion of your physician.
