1st Patient Enrolled in Pivotal Clinical Trial Evaluating the Hydrus Microstent in Standalone MIGS for Mild to Moderate Glaucoma
The FRONTIER trial will build on long-term findings from the Hydrus HORIZON five-year pivotal trial, which showed a 47% reduction in visual field loss, sustained reduction in medication use, and over 60% reduction in subsequent, more invasive glaucoma surgery.
Retinal-imaging Breakthrough That Can Swiftly Detect Eye Diseases
European researchers are developing a new real-time scanner that will create a full image of a moving eye without any blurring. Teaming up with photonics innovation hub ACTPHAST 4R the scientists at Vrije Universiteit (VU) Amsterdam are progressing their scanner concept to a demonstrator stage to acquire data faster than existing optical imaging technologies.
iSTAR Medical MIGS Device Studies: Highly Promising in Glaucoma Patients
