Cataracts and glaucoma are two common eye conditions that often affect patients simultaneously.
- Cataractscause clouding of the eye’s natural lens, leading to blurred vision and glare. Surgery to replace the cloudy lens is one of the most performed procedures worldwide, with over 35,000 procedures having already been performed at Centre for Sight.
- Glaucomais a group of eye diseases characterised by increased intraocular pressure (IOP) that can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss. Up to 20% of cataract surgery patients also have glaucoma or ocular hypertension (OHT).
ELIOS™ Vision Laser is an innovative glaucoma treatment designed to address this overlap. Using high-precision, non-thermal laser ablation, ELIOS creates tiny microchannels in the trabecular meshwork to improve fluid drainage and reduce IOP, without the need for an implant.
This next-generation technology can be seamlessly combined with cataract surgery to effectively treat glaucoma while restoring vision.
