Eyeplate and Eyewatch Glaucoma Drainage Device Implantation

Karl Mercieca, MD, PGCME, FRCOphth, FEBOS-GL

Show Description +

[No Narration] The Eyewatch system (Rheon Medical; not available in the United States) is an adjustable glaucoma drainage device that allows surgeons to modify IOP noninvasively following the implantation of a nonvalved tube shunt. The Eyewatch device contains a magnetic disc and commercial ruby ball bearings surrounding a compressible tube, which is connected to a glaucoma drainage device at the time of surgery. Surgeons can adjust the Eyewatch by rotating the internal magnetic disc with an external control unit, the Eyewatch pen, which allows for compression or decompression of the drainage tube to adjust aqueous flow and control IOP.
