The Device
Vizio is a patented, micro-implant that has been designed to lower intraocular pressure resulting from glaucoma and halt the progression of the disease. It has been designed to be safe and comfortable while implanted and provides soothing relief to the eye surfaces while lowering internal pressure.
Vizio Highlights
- Shunts aqueous humor from the anterior chamber directly to the surface of the eye.
- Minimally invasive, ab externo (from outside the eye) implant procedure.
- By design, its location is meant to supply the surface of the eye with a continuous microflow of fluid, which can improve the condition of unhealthy tear films.
Differentiators
- May reduce or eliminate IOP reduction medications.
- Shunting directly to the surface of the eye produces a constant and consistent flow through Vizio that is difficult to achieve by other available methods.
- Implant location and design provide an efficient way to directly access the implant's functionality (device can be easily explanted and the device channel can be cleared at any time).
