Istent helps glaucoma patients, who are on multiple eye drops, come off their medications as many patients tend to miss their Glaucoma medications which lead to progression and loss of sight. Glaucoma medications can be expensive, and often cause allergies and they must be used for lifetime. Istent also protects patients from loss of sight because Glaucoma is a progressive disease and with time it keeps getting worse. So, stent delays the progression of the Glaucoma and prolongs good quality of vision for Glaucoma patients.
