There are different surgical options that fall under the category of minimally invasive glaucoma surgery. Of these, only the OMNI® Surgical System enables your doctor to address all three points where blockages can occur with a single device.
The device itself is about the size of an electric toothbrush. At the tip is a microcatheter – a tiny tube that allows your ophthalmologist to perform procedures that help restore the natural outflow in the three areas where obstructions may occur.
The OMNI® Surgical System doesn’t use implants; it allows the eye’s natural drainage system to safely restore pressure.
Also, unlike other MIGS, procedures using the OMNI® Surgical System can be performed at the same time as cataract surgery or as a solo procedure with minimal recovery time, similar to cataract surgery.
In several clinical trials, OMNI® has proven consistent in lowering eye pressure in patients by greater than 20%.1 In some cases, OMNI® even eliminated the need for drops after surgery2. Individual results may vary.
