Advanced Glaucoma Treatment with the OMNI Surgical System
At Lake Nona Ophthalmology, we are proud to offer the latest advancements in glaucoma treatment, including the highly effective OMNI Surgical System. This cutting-edge minimally invasive procedure provides a safe, efficient, and customizable solution for patients suffering from glaucoma. Combining the power of cataract surgery with advanced glaucoma therapy, the OMNI Surgical System offers remarkable benefits with faster recovery and improved outcomes.
What is the OMNI
Surgical System?
The OMNI Surgical System is a revolutionary, minimally invasive procedure designed to treat glaucoma by improving fluid drainage in the eye. It combines the proven techniques of both canaloplasty and trabeculotomy in one streamlined procedure, allowing for the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma. The OMNI System is typically performed during cataract surgery, which enables patients to address both conditions in a single procedure, providing a more efficient and effective treatment experience.
How the OMNI Surgical System Works
The OMNI Surgical System uses a small, flexible device to access the eye’s natural drainage system and restore proper fluid flow. The procedure involves three key steps:
- Canaloplasty: A micro-catheter is used to gently open and widen the Schlemm’s canal, the eye’s natural drainage channel, to increase fluid outflow.
- Trabeculotomy: The trabecular meshwork (the part of the eye responsible for fluid drainage) is also addressed to improve fluid flow.
- Gonioscopy-assisted visualization: This ensures precision during the procedure, allowing for accurate targeting of the drainage channels.
By improving the flow of aqueous humor (the fluid inside the eye), the OMNI system lowers intraocular pressure and helps to control the progression of glaucoma.
Benefits of the
OMNI Surgical System
The OMNI Surgical System offers numerous advantages over traditional glaucoma treatments:
- Minimally invasive: The OMNI procedure requires only small incisions and does not involve the use of external devices or implants.
- Faster recovery: Patients typically experience less postoperative discomfort and a quicker recovery compared to traditional glaucoma surgeries.
- Reduced need for medication: Many patients are able to reduce or eliminate their use of glaucoma medications following the procedure, lowering the risk of side effects and improving quality of life.
- Dual benefits: The OMNI system is often used in conjunction with cataract surgery, allowing patients to treat both glaucoma and cataracts in a single procedure, saving time and reducing the need for multiple surgeries.
- Long-term effectiveness: Studies have shown that the OMNI system provides sustained reductions in intraocular pressure over time, helping to control glaucoma and preserve vision.
Studies and Evidence Supporting the OMNI Surgical System
Numerous clinical studies have shown the effectiveness of the OMNI Surgical System in managing glaucoma:
- Reduced Intraocular Pressure (IOP): Clinical studies indicate that patients treated with the OMNI system experience significant reductions in IOP, with many patients able to achieve their target pressure levels without relying on long-term medication.
- Improved Visual Field Preservation: Research has demonstrated that the OMNI procedure helps preserve peripheral vision by controlling glaucoma progression, allowing patients to maintain their quality of life.
- Safety and Efficacy: A range of studies has confirmed the safety of the OMNI procedure, showing low complication rates and high patient satisfaction with outcomes. Patients report faster recovery times and less post-surgical discomfort compared to traditional glaucoma surgeries.
