Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide .But today, the way we manage it is changing.

💡 The interventional approach means treating earlier, with minimally invasive procedures that can preserve vision before it's lost. No more waiting until vision is already damaged. No more relying only on daily drops or late-stage surgery.

This revolution is about:
✅ Early diagnosis
✅ Safer, less invasive treatments
✅ Better long-term outcomes
✅ Empowering both patients and doctors

🌟 Glaucoma doesn’t have to steal sight. The future of eye care is here and it's proactive, personalized, and powerful.

💬 Talk to your eye doctor about interventional glaucoma options.

I am incredibly grateful to my ophthalmologist and the team who introduced me to iStent. Their expertise and care have made all the difference. After getting the iStent implant, I noticed a significant improvement in my eye pressure. I no longer need as many eye drops, and my eye pressure has been consistently under control. It's amazing how such a small device can make such a big difference in my life.- Mr Sundarum
