New gel stent technology cures glaucoma in just a few minutes

Release date: 2015-06-11

According to eye surgeons, glaucoma is expected to be cured by simple injection therapy.

They use innovative methods for intraocular pressure without the need for scalpels and needles. The method only needs to use a hypodermic needle to implant a small drainage tube into the eye, allowing more liquid to flow out.

Experts praised this Xen gel stent as a major breakthrough in the treatment of moderate to severe glaucoma in recent years.

Vick Sharma, a consultant ophthalmologist at the Royal Free Hospital in London, said the method is faster and safer than current methods. Other doctors also said that the British NHS will increasingly adopt this method.

There are more than 600,000 glaucoma patients in the UK each year, which can cause permanent damage to vision. Glaucoma is treated with eye drops for the first time, but it is generally not used to control intraocular pressure. Many people also take laser eye surgery, but sometimes the therapy does not work.

Many people end up using trabeculectomy to remove excess fluid from the eye through a rigid tube. The therapy says a metal plate is placed under the eyes to help the liquid flow away. However, it is necessary to remove the internal structure of the eye and suture it at the same time.

The latest Xen gel stent catheter is only 6 mm long and the width is only as wide as the hair. The technique is minimally invasive, with few complications and rapid recovery. Traditional trabeculectomy should be resumed two to three months after surgery. At the same time, the operation can be completed in a few minutes However, the operation is more expensive and requires £6,000, which is £2,000 more expensive than trabeculectomy.
