iStent infinite Fluid Wave

Show Description +

I. Paul Singh, MD, shares a case of combination cataract surgery and iStent infinite (Glaukos) implantation. He explains how you can see the balanced salt solution leaving the anterior chamber into the episcleral veins as the eye is pressurized. Instead of burping the wound, he pushes on the cornea and lets the fluid leave through the venous system. He says this prevents hyphema and also confirms the stents are in good position, proving that there is significant outflow.
