Modern glaucoma care relies on cutting-edge technology to improve patient outcomes and preserve vision. At London Ophthalmology Centre (LondonOC), patients have access to some of the most advanced glaucoma devices available, all used under the care of consultant ophthalmologists, including Mr. Vik Sharma.
Here are five of the most innovative devices used at LondonOC:
- MINIject® Implant – A tiny device that enhances the eye’s natural drainage system, lowering intraocular pressure safely and effectively.
- XEN Gel Stent – A 6mm gel tube implanted to create a new drainage pathway without the need for stitches.
- OMNI™ Surgical System – Combines canaloplasty and trabeculotomy in a single microincision, improving fluid outflow with minimal disruption.
- Hydrus Microstent – A small device inserted into Schlemm’s canal to enhance drainage, often used in conjunction with cataract surgery.
- Preserflo Microshunt – A synthetic tube that creates a new fluid drainage route, ideal for advanced glaucoma cases.
Each device is selected based on the patient’s specific type and severity of glaucoma, ensuring personalised and effective treatment. They offer several advantages over traditional surgery, including minimally invasive procedures, reduced recovery times, and lower risk of complications.
Using these devices, LondonOC provides a consultant-led, technology-driven approach to glaucoma management. Patients benefit from safer, more predictable outcomes, and long-term vision preservation.
Advanced devices like these, combined with expert assessment, make LondonOC a leading centre for glaucoma care in London, trusted by patients and healthcare professionals alike.
