DETAILS

MINIMALLY-INVASIVE GLAUCOMA SURGERY (MIGS) – ISTENT INFINITE

Minimally-Invasive Glaucoma Surgery using the iStent Infinite is a modern surgical service designed to help lower eye pressure in patients with glaucoma. This procedure improves the natural outflow of fluid from the eye by placing tiny titanium stents into the eye’s drainage system. As a result, eye pressure decreases and the risk of further optic nerve damage may be reduced.

WHAT THIS SERVICE TREATS

This procedure treats open-angle glaucoma that remains uncontrolled despite medications or prior treatments. Elevated eye pressure damages the optic nerve over time. Therefore, lowering pressure remains the main goal of glaucoma management. The iStent Infinite helps improve fluid drainage and supports long-term pressure control.

HOW THE PROCEDURE WORKS

During surgery, the ophthalmologist implants three microscopic stents into the eye’s natural drainage channels. These stents create multiple pathways for fluid to exit the eye more efficiently. Surgeons often perform the procedure through a small incision, which helps minimize tissue disruption. Consequently, recovery tends to be faster compared to traditional glaucoma surgery.

WHO MAY BENEFIT

This procedure may benefit selected patients with moderate to advanced open-angle glaucoma. For example, it may help the following individuals.

1. Patients with glaucoma not adequately controlled by eye drops
2. Individuals intolerant of long-term glaucoma medications
3. Patients undergoing cataract surgery who also need glaucoma management
4. Eyes requiring additional pressure reduction after prior treatments
5. Patients seeking a less invasive surgical option

RECOVERY AND AFTERCARE

Most patients resume normal activities within a short period after surgery. Vision may fluctuate temporarily during early healing. However, prescribed eye drops and scheduled follow-up visits help support recovery. Doctors monitor eye pressure closely to ensure the stents function as intended.

SAFETY AND CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS

The iStent Infinite has a strong safety profile when used in properly selected patients. Even so, all surgeries carry risks, including inflammation, bleeding, or pressure changes. Therefore, comprehensive evaluation and careful surgical planning remain essential. Pre-existing eye conditions can also influence outcomes.
