Overview

A tiny implant that releases glaucoma medication over time.

The tiny Durysta implant is placed inside the eye and slowly releases bimatoprost, a medication that helps increase fluid drainage.

It provides sustained pressure control without the need for daily eye drops and dissolves naturally over time.

Candidacy

Who this is- and isn't - for.

We don't push the envelope of safety to make you fit a procedure. If you aren't a great candidate, we'll tell you - and recommend the option that is.

A likely fit

You may be a great fit if any of these sound familiar.

  • Adults with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension
  • Patients seeking a convenient drop-free pressure treatment
  • Patients who have difficulty using or tolerating topical glaucoma medications
  • Patients with eye health suitable for an intracameral implant
Worth a closer look

We may recommend something else if…

  • Corneal conditions or endothelial cell concerns that make implantation unsafe
  • Active eye infection or inflammation
  • Patients who need a permanent surgical drainage procedure instead
  • Patients unable to return for follow-up monitoring

None of these are deal-breakers, they're reasons to look at the alternatives. We'll tell you straight at consultation.
