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. The Vizio™ device can be easily explanted and the device channel can be cleared at any time with our patented Vizio Recanalization Tool™ (see below).
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.
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.
Access to the Channel
- Unlike any other device in the field, Vizio™ shunts directly to the surface of the eye allowing immediate access to the channel.
- The Vizio Recanalization Tool™ can be used to enhance or re-establish flow through the channel at any time.
