For patients with advanced glaucoma, drainage implants such as the Preserflo Microshunt provide an effective solution to controlling intraocular pressure (IOP). At London Ophthalmology Centre (LondonOC), consultant ophthalmologists including Mr. Vik Sharma offer access to these innovative devices, ensuring personalised, cutting-edge care.
The Preserflo Microshunt is a small synthetic tube implanted to create a new drainage pathway, allowing excess fluid to leave the eye safely. This procedure significantly reduces IOP, slowing the progression of glaucoma and helping to preserve vision. It is minimally invasive, offers faster recovery than traditional surgery, and is designed to integrate with the eye’s natural anatomy for long-term effectiveness.
Other advanced implants, such as the XEN Gel Stent and Hydrus Microstent, provide similar benefits, each tailored to the patient’s condition and eye structure. These devices are often used in combination with cataract surgery for greater efficiency and optimal outcomes.
At LondonOC, patients benefit from consultant-led decision-making, ensuring the right implant is chosen based on disease severity, previous treatments, and overall eye health. The team provides comprehensive pre-operative assessment, personalised surgical planning, and detailed post-operative monitoring to ensure safe and effective results.
Innovative implants like Preserflo and Hydrus represent a new era in glaucoma care, offering long-term IOP control, minimal invasiveness, and reduced risk of complications. By combining advanced technology with experienced surgical expertise, LondonOC delivers world-class glaucoma care to patients across London.
Early intervention with the right implant can preserve vision and improve quality of life, making specialist assessment essential. If you are considering glaucoma surgery, booking a consultation with London’s leading glaucoma specialist is the first step toward safeguarding your sight.
