Understanding the role of eye pressure in glaucoma
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. Consistent eye pressure control is important
DURYSTA™ helps to lower eye pressure in patients with open angle glaucoma or high eye pressure, 24 hours a day 7 days a week. DURYSTA™ is a tiny, dissolvable implant Dr. Scott Beeve places in your eye.
As DURYSTA™ dissolves, it automatically releases medicine to help reduce high pressure inside your eye.
