GLAUCOMA

INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS.

At Ícone da Visão, we offer highly accurate glaucoma diagnosis, utilizing a comprehensive arsenal of exams and advanced statistical tools, such as the Zeiss Forum System. This innovative software allows for early detection of eye diseases, ensuring a more effective, safe, and personalized approach to glaucoma treatment.

Minimally Invasive Technology for Glaucoma Control

Our specialized glaucoma treatment center is equipped with the latest minimally invasive technologies. These procedures aim for effective glaucoma control, reducing or eliminating the need for daily eye drops, which often cause unwanted side effects.

MIGS (Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgeries)
Minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS) represent a true revolution in glaucoma treatment. With high safety, these techniques offer enhanced efficiency and are especially indicated for cases of glaucoma resistant to conventional treatments. Ícone da Visão is a leader in the use of ocular stent implants (iStent) and videoendoscopic laser surgery (ECP), providing safe and effective solutions for glaucoma control.

iStent: The Minimally Invasive Solution for Glaucoma
The iStent is the smallest ocular device implanted in the human body, designed to be placed in the wall of the corneal drainage canal, increasing aqueous humor outflow and, consequently, reducing intraocular pressure. The procedure is quick, precise, and safely performed, with one or more implants indicated based on the case.

Xen Implant: The Effective and Long-lasting Glaucoma Solution
The Xen implant is an innovative and effective solution for glaucoma treatment. This microstent aids in increasing ocular fluid outflow, providing long-term control of intraocular pressure. The Xen implant is especially indicated for patients who have not responded to conventional treatments or who have difficult-to-control glaucoma. The procedure is minimally invasive, quick, and has an excellent long-term success rate.

Laser Treatments: Safety and Effectiveness
In addition to surgical techniques, Ícone da Visão also utilizes laser treatments like SLT (Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty) and Laser MP3, which are highly effective for reducing ocular pressure.

  • SLT (Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty): This non-invasive procedure aims to enlarge the drainage channels in the eye, reducing ocular pressure. It is a safe, painless treatment that can be repeated if the pressure rises again.

  • Laser MP3: Similar to SLT, MP3 is a laser treatment that reduces aqueous humor production, helping to control intraocular pressure. This procedure is also safe and can be repeated if necessary.

ECP (Endocyclophotocoagulation Endoscopy)
ECP (Endocyclophotocoagulation Endoscopy) is a minimally invasive technique that uses laser through videoendoscopy to reduce aqueous humor production and control glaucoma. This procedure is especially indicated for refractory glaucoma cases that have not responded to other treatments or previous surgeries. ECP is low-risk, effective, and can be a crucial alternative to prevent blindness.

At Ícone da Visão, we are leaders in glaucoma treatment, with a personalized approach and the use of the most advanced technologies available, including the Xen implant, MIGS, and laser treatments, to ensure that each patient receives the best possible care.
