Hydrus Microstent - Dr. Chelvin Sng

The Hydrus Microstent is an 8mm implant made from nitinol which drains aqueous directly from the anterior chamber to the Schlemm’s canal. It has a trimodal mechanism of action, not only bypassing the trabecular meshwork, but also scaffolds and dilates it over 3 clock hours. Patient selection is important for the success of Hydrus surgery and it is most appropriate for patients with mild to moderate open angle glaucoma, as a phaco-plus procedure. This talk highlights the surgical steps involved in Hydrus implantation, with some tips and tricks for beginner surgeons. There will also be a review of the landmark Hydrus studies and a summary of the study findings.
