How iStent Infinite Works

iStent infinite uses 3 micro-sized stents to create openings through the trabecular meshwork, helping to drain the fluid in the eye properly. These stents are so small that you will not be able to see or feel them, but they are designed to work constantly to reduce eye pressure and slow the progression of glaucoma.

Unlike more invasive glaucoma surgeries, iStent infinite preserves 97% of your eye’s natural tissue.

PROVEN TO REDUCE PRESSURE SAFELY

iStent infinite can tackle even tough-to-treat glaucoma effectively and safely. For adults with primary open-angle glaucoma who have been unsuccessful with medications and surgical treatments for the condition, iStent infinite can help manage disease progression and lower eye pressure. In addition, it may reduce reliance on medications at the discretion of a physician. Fewer medications can mean fewer side effects and less eye irritation. Patients will not be able to feel or see the 3 microstents as they effectively work to reduce eye pressure.

iStent infinite can tackle even
tough-to-treat glaucoma effectively and safely:

  • 24/7 control over glaucoma can help manage disease progression and lower eye pressure, and it may reduce reliance on medications at the discretion of the physician
  • Fewer medications can mean fewer side effects and less eye irritation
