Our ophthalmic surgeons are renowned throughout the UK and worldwide for their expertise, knowledge and experience.
Combined iStent and cataract procedure
In the past, glaucoma and cataract surgery were two separate procedures. However it is now possible for doctors to treat both glaucoma and cataracts at the same time through a combined iStent and cataract procedure.
iStent surgery is a relatively new procedure that involves inserting a tiny hollow metal tube (stent) into the natural drainage channel of the eye. This helps fluid drain from the eye and so reduces the intra-ocular pressure of the eye (pressure inside the eye). Reducing pressure on the optic nerve in this way can help prevent further damage and loss of vision in glaucoma. The Istent is the smallest medical device to be implanted in the human eye. It is a tiny one millimetre long titanium tube.
The iStent can be inserted either alone or more commonly during cataract surgery. It is suitable for use in those patients who have a type of glaucoma called open angle glaucoma. Your doctor will discuss and explain the suitability of the Istent fully with you.
