Improve vision and reduce intraocular pressure with coexisting cataracts and glaucoma.
Understanding Cataracts and Glaucoma
Cataracts and glaucoma are two of the most common eye conditions, particularly in older adults. While cataracts cloud the eye’s lens, leading to blurry vision and faded colors, glaucoma is characterized by increased pressure in the eye that can damage the optic nerve. Both conditions can significantly impact vision, but they often require different treatment approaches.
For patients with both cataracts and glaucoma, combining cataract surgery with minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) is an innovative solution that addresses both conditions simultaneously. This dual approach not only restores clear vision but also helps reduce eye pressure, protecting the optic nerve from further damage.
