Trabecular stent bypass microsurgery for open-angle glaucoma

The procedure

This procedure involves inserting a small tube (stent) into the eye. The aim is to improve drainage of fluid from the eye. Under local anaesthesia, a small cut is made in the side of the eye to gain access inside the eye. One or more stents are put into the eye. The procedure may be done at the same time as cataract surgery.
