Glaucoma Cataract Surgery Devices: Advancing Vision Care Through Innovation
Glaucoma and cataracts are two of the most common eye conditions affecting vision worldwide, particularly among older adults. While cataracts cause clouding of the eye’s natural lens, glaucoma damages the optic nerve due to increased intraocular pressure. When both conditions occur together, surgical intervention often becomes necessary. Glaucoma cataract surgery devices play a vital role in improving patient outcomes by enabling surgeons to treat both conditions safely and effectively during a single procedure.
Cataract surgery traditionally involves removing the clouded lens and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens. In patients with glaucoma, managing eye pressure is equally critical. Modern surgical devices are designed to support combined procedures, allowing surgeons to address cataracts while simultaneously controlling intraocular pressure. This integrated approach reduces the need for multiple surgeries and minimizes patient recovery time.
One major advancement in this field is the development…
