Artificial lens decreases glaucoma eye drops
A clinical study from Vanderbilt University in the United States has found that implanting an artificial lens during cataract surgery can significantly reduce the need for eye drops to treat glaucoma (high intraocular pressure). The results showed that more than 95% of patients who received certain experimental lenses gradually discontinued their eye pressure-lowering medications within a year after the procedure, compared to patients who relied on timolol drops twice daily. This innovative technique allows for the treatment of both cataracts and glaucoma in a single surgery, making it easier for patients and effectively achieving the desired outcome. The study and follow-up continue for up to three years to assess long-term safety and efficacy.
