What is iDose® TR?
iDose® TR is an FDA-approved, micro-sized implant designed to manage intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Unlike traditional eye drops, iDose® TR provides a continuous release of medication directly within the eye, ensuring consistent treatment over an extended period.
Advantages of iDose® TR
- Sustained Medication Release: Delivers consistent levels of medication, reducing IOP fluctuations.
- Improved Compliance: Eliminates the need for daily eye drops, addressing adherence challenges.
- Minimally Invasive Procedure: Implanted during a quick outpatient procedure with minimal recovery time.
- Reduced Side Effects: By delivering medication directly into the eye, it minimizes common side effects associated with topical treatments.
- Long-Term Efficacy: Clinical studies have shown that approximately 80% of patients remained free from additional glaucoma medications for at least 12 months post-implantation.
Why Do You Need iDose® TR?
Managing glaucoma effectively is crucial to prevent vision loss. Traditional treatments often rely on patient adherence to daily eye drops, which can be challenging and inconsistent. iDose® TR offers a hands-free solution, ensuring continuous medication delivery and reducing the risk of disease progression due to missed doses.
