Overview

A long-acting implant for steady IOP control.

iDose delivers glaucoma medication directly inside the eye, offering consistent pressure-lowering therapy without the daily routine of topical drops.

It may be useful for patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who struggle with remembering, tolerating, or affording daily glaucoma drops.

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 more convenient alternative to daily medicated drops
  • Patients with drop side effects or adherence challenges
  • Patients who need steady therapeutic levels for months to years
Worth a closer look

We may recommend something else if…

  • Patients whose eye anatomy does not allow safe implant placement
  • Active eye infection or inflammation
  • Patients who need a different glaucoma procedure for pressure goals
  • 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.
