Prescription eye drops are the most common treatment for glaucoma. Taken as prescribed, and put in your eyes properly, eye drops are generally effective at controlling eye pressure and managing glaucoma. However, even with proper administration, your cornea, the protective outer layer of your eye, can prevent drops from being fully absorbed by your eye.
There are additional challenges with prescription eye drops: compliance and side effects. Compliance means putting glaucoma drops in your eye exactly as prescribed by your eye doctor.
Advanced treatment options like iDose TR are changing the way eye doctors and patients treat and manage high eye pressure associated with glaucoma.
With iDose TR, you get the prescription-strength medication your eyes need without the challenges or inconvenience of having to use daily drops. In a clinical study, 8 out of 10 patients did not need prescription eye drops 12 months after iDose TR administration.
iDose TR continuously releases medication exactly where you need it, inside the eye, to reduce pressure, protect vision, and ensure you get the medication you need all day and night.
iDose TR was proven safe and effective in two large clinical studies of 1,150 patients with glaucoma. Most of the common side effects of iDose TR were mild.
In the iDose TR clinical studies, most patients did not experience any serious side effects. The most common side effects in the eye occurred in only 2 to 6% of patients who received iDose TR.
The most common side effect of iDose TR was increased eye pressure. The other most common side effects were inflammation of the iris, dry eye, a loss of part of the usual field of vision, eye pain, eye redness, and reduced vision.
Small and stable
iDose TR is a tiny, FDA-approved implant. It is 200 times smaller than a single drop of glaucoma medication. iDose TR is designed to stay in place and remain stable in the eye. You won’t feel it or know it’s there.
Proprietary formula
iDose TR releases a unique formulation of the same effective medication used in the leading class of prescription eye drops, in a reliable and consistent manner.
iDose TR continuously releases prescription glaucoma medication directly inside your eye to help reduce high eye pressure.
iDose TR is placed directly inside your eye through a tiny incision:
If you or someone you love has glaucoma due to high eye pressure, you may feel overwhelmed. Taking daily prescription eye drops for a long-term health condition that affects your eyesight can be challenging and stressful. That’s why it’s so important to have an open and honest conversation with your doctor about your condition and your treatment. Ask your doctor about iDose® TR—a treatment that provides patients living with glaucoma a new option for taking control of their high eye pressure.
If you have been diagnosed with glaucoma and are taking prescription eye drops, ask your eye doctor if FDA-approved iDose TR is right for you.
