OMNI Surgical System

OMNI is a new minimally invasive surgical option for glaucoma. Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery is exciting because of its safety profile and fast post-operative recovery.

Unlike other minimally invasive procedures for glaucoma, which only treat a small portion of the trabecular drainage system, the OMNI device can treat the entire 360 degrees of the trabecular drain. This allows your surgeon to address three points in the eye where blockage or drainage resistance can occur:
​​​​​​​

• Trabecular Meshwork

• Schlemm's Canal

• Distal Collector Channel
  ​​​​​​​

The first part, visco-canaloplasty, is a procedure that dilates the entire 360 degrees of Schlemm’s canal, allowing the drainage channels to function better. The second part, trabeculectomy, removes a portion of the trabecular meshwork, providing direct access for aqueous fluid to drain into Schlemm’s canal. Based on the stage of your glaucoma, your surgeon can titrate the amount of trabeculectomy performed. Therefore, patients of any stage of glaucoma are candidates for the procedure.

After surgery, the patient may be able to reduce their number of glaucoma drops. Visual recovery is very rapid. The OMNI procedure can be performed at the time of cataract surgery or as a standalone procedure.

Glaucoma Stents

Glaucoma stents are small devices that are surgically inserted into the eye, often during cataract surgery, to increase the outflow of intraocular fluid and reduce intraocular eye pressure.

​​​​​​​Glaukos iStent & iStent Inject

iStent inject^® W is one of the smallest medical implants known to be implanted in the human body and can effectively lower IOP, one of the most important risk factors for glaucoma.

Glaukos started a revolution in glaucoma surgery and treatment with the development of the first Micro-Invasive Glaucoma Surgery device. To date, trabecular micro-bypass technologies developed by Glaukos – such as iStent^®, iStent inject^®, and iStent inject^® W – have been implanted in hundreds of thousands of eyes, with more patients benefiting from these procedures every day.

Once implanted in the eye, iStent inject^® W can help restore normal pressure in the eye. It’s designed to restore your eye’s natural ability to drain the fluid that causes the increased pressure inside your eye. This may allow your doctor to reduce or eliminate your glaucoma medications.
