If you have Glaucoma, you know it can be a problem keeping your eye pressure in check.
Now there is a new FDA-approved treatment to help you...DURYSTA® implant - the first and only FDA-approved dissolvable ocular implant to reduce eye pressure in people with open-angle glaucoma or high eye pressure (ocular hypertension)
DURYSTA® is a prescription medicine and drug delivery system for the eye for lowering eye pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or high eye pressure (ocular hypertension).
As DURYSTA® dissolves, it automatically releases medicine to help reduce high pressure inside your eye. Once in place, it does the dosing for you. One DURYSTA® implant lasts for several months. DURYSTA® should not be given in the same eye more than once.
Here are some things to think about before speaking to your eye doctor:
The pressure inside your eye is called intraocular pressure, or IOP. When IOP is elevated, it's a major risk factor for vision loss associated with glaucoma over time. The higher the level of IOP, the greater the chance of optic nerve damage and vision loss.
