Abstract

The OMNI glaucoma treatment is a safe and minimally invasive surgery that helps reduce the intraocular pressure by opening up and restoring the flow through the eye’s natural draining pathway. This can be done as a standalone procedure or can be combined with cataract surgery.
It involves a specially designed micro-catheter, inserted into the Schlemms canal, through a single clear corneal incision This allows injection of viscoelastic to dilate it and the distal collector channels. Once that is done the microcatheter can be used to perform trabeculotomy to address the trabecular meshwork as a point of resistance within the conventional outflow pathway. This procedure does not leave any implant behind.
This procedure is offered in mild to moderate glaucomas with or without cataract surgery.
