Leading the Way with the Glaukos iDose Implant in San Diego
Alvarado Eye Associates is proud to announce that Dr. Lee R. Katzman is one of the first eye surgeons in the region to successfully implant the new Glaukos iDose device. This achievement marks another significant milestone in Dr. Katzman’s commitment to bringing the most advanced, cutting-edge treatments to his patients in San Diego.
A Breakthrough in Glaucoma Management
For years, the standard of care for managing open-angle glaucoma has relied heavily on prescription eye drops. While effective, these drops can be difficult for patients to manage daily and often cause eye irritation or dryness.
The Glaukos iDose implant
is a breakthrough alternative. It is a micro-invasive device designed to be safely implanted during a quick, outpatient procedure. Once in place, the implant continuously and automatically delivers a targeted dose of medication directly into the eye to help lower and control intraocular pressure (IOP).
Reducing the Burden of Eye Drops
For many patients, this revolutionary technology means freedom from the strict, daily regimen of glaucoma eye drops, all while ensuring their eyes receive the continuous, 24/7 protection they need to preserve their vision.
By being an early adopter of the Glaukos iDose implant, Dr. Katzman continues to lead the way in offering innovative, patient-focused solutions for complex eye conditions.
