D'Ambrosio Eye Care in Massachusetts now offers the iStent trabecular micro-bypass treatment as an option for cataract patients with glaucoma, according to a news release.
The iStent is used in conjunction with cataract surgery to reduce eye pressure in adult patients with mild-to moderate open-angle glaucoma currently being treated with glaucoma medicine.
iStent is the smallest medical device ever approved by the FDA, according to the website of Glaukos Corp., maker of the iStent. It is placed in a patient's eye during cataract surgery, and is designed to create a permanent opening in the trabecular meshwork and work continuously to improve the outflow of fluid from the eyes to help control eye pressure.
D'Ambrosio Eye Care has offices in Lancaster, Acton and Gardner, Mass.
