Proven safe and effective, the iStent Trabecular Micro-Bypass is the smallest medical device ever approved by the FDA. It is placed in your eye during cataract surgery and is so small that you won’t be able to see or feel it after the procedure is over. For patients with combined cataract and open-angle glaucoma, iStent reduces introcular pressure (IOP) by improving aqueous humor outflow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fcc125afe71305fc601929/4ed559f8-fd00-433e-bb9b-035949260857/Xen.jpg Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgeries - Xen Gel Stent The XEN Gel Stent is a surgical implant designed to lower high eye pressure in open-angle glaucoma patients where previous surgical treatment has failed or medications alone were insufficient. The XEN stent creates a small channel in the eye to drain fluid and help lower eye pressure. The stent is a tiny tube—about the length of an eyelash—that when placed into the eye becomes soft and flexible. Palo Alto Eye Group doctors contributed to the original U.S. clinical study that established XEN's safety and effectiveness, and have since refined the technique to make the procedure even safer and less invasive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fcc125afe71305fc601929/86feb302-dbfc-452d-a56a-5518ca698993/Kahook.jpg Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgeries - Goniotomy A goniotomy procedure essentially involves removal of the clogged filter that is impeding the flow of fluid out of the eye and into the eye’s natural drainage system. The Kahook Dual Blade was designed to achieve near complete removal of the clogged filter with minimal, if any, damage to the surrounding tissues. The illustration shows an exposed drainage collector channel after removal of the overlying filter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fcc125afe71305fc601929/e4ed7ffc-319e-4a68-9ccd-e49373bd37b8/OMNI.jpg Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgeries - Viscodilation with or without GATT Ab-interno Canaloplasty using the iTrack Microcatheter; the OMNI Surgical System; and the Streamline Surgical System, is an implant-free MIGS procedure designed to re-establish the eye’s natural fluid outflow pathways. It allows the surgeon to access, in some cases catheterize, and flush out points of blockage in the eye’s drainage system . This leads to improved outflow of fluid and lower eye pressures. Conjunctival tissues are not disturbed and there is no scarring, so if further surgery is needed in the future, it can be performed with significantly higher rates of success. In addition to flushing out the collection channels, the iTrack Microcatheter and OMNI Surgical System can be used to perform Gonioscopy-Assisted Transluminal Trabeculotomy (GATT), a procedure that opens the filter leading to the fluid collection system, allowing for even better fluid outflow and lower pressures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fcc125afe71305fc601929/617e5bb5-9ff7-4b93-962c-7e514a7d30d3/Iridex+laser.jfif Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgeries - Micropulse Diode Laser The Micropulse Diode Laser, manufactured by Iridex, targets and destroys the cells responsible for production of aqueous humor, the clear fluid inside the eye. Older generations of the laser delivered energy at a continuous dose which sometimes resulted in collateral tissue damage and complications. Micropulse technology allows surgeons to deliver a series of repetitive short pulses of energy alternating with rest periods in between pulses. This is thought to allow for a “cooling period” between bursts, which minimizes collateral tissue damage. Micropulse laser treatment is an option when other types of glaucoma surgery have failed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fcc125afe71305fc601929/ee4362d4-e7c0-4e98-ae14-23a7f10d8ad4/hydrus.jpg Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgeries - Hydrus Microstent Like the iStent, the Hydrus Microstent is a device that is placed into the eye's internal drainage canal during cataract surgery to help enhance fluid outflow. Fluid flows along the canal and into the eye’s natural outflow channel to reduce eye pressure. The device, which you will not be able to see or feel once it is implanted, has an excellent safety profile and can help deliver mild to moderate reductions in eye presssure. https://www.paloaltoeye.com/selective-laser-trabeculoplasty daily 0.75 2022-02-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fcc125afe71305fc601929/f6d2e4dd-d0e2-48fe-a469-dfaf0d56971c/AdobeStock_151207783.jpeg Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty -

OCT Optical coherence tomography, also called OCT, is a method for imaging the various layers of the retina, the optic nerve head, and the anterior segment of the eye. Similar to ultrasound, individual layers of tissue are scanned without touching the eye and displayed as a cross-section. The examination lasts a few seconds, does not require the administration of drugs, and is totally painless. OCT supports your doctor in diagnosing disease and monitoring change over time. At Palo Alto Eye Group, we utilize the SPECTRALIS® OCT by Heidelberg Engineering with the Glaucoma Module Premium Edition to compare our patients’ eyes to a reference database of normal eyes. The precision of the SPECTRALIS system allows us to detect even small deviations from normal and confidently identify and monitor changes in the optic nerve from visit to visit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fcc125afe71305fc601929/4140f45a-6969-4d27-a715-2930b7af2650/disc+photos.jpg Diagnostic Tests - Stereo Disc Photos Digital stereo disc photos provide your doctor with a three dimensional view of your optic nerves. Studies have shown that structural injury of the optic nerve head is one of the earliest indicators of progressive glaucomatous damage and can precede detectable visual field loss. This technology complements OCT and visual field testing, allowing your doctor to detect glaucoma progression over time. Our Nidek AFC-230 fundus cameras provide ultrasharp images of the optic nerves for longitudinal comparison. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fcc125afe71305fc601929/ed341ba0-2229-4777-b90a-0b408768aaa7/IOL+master.jpg Diagnostic Tests - Biometry Biometry involves measuring the eye in order to choose the ideal lens implant for cataract surgery. Our IOLMaster® 700 from ZEISS is the gold standard in optical biometry, providing our doctors with highly accurate measurements for surgical results that they, and you, can depend on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fcc125afe71305fc601929/b069be43-667a-46ac-b72c-3e18d1b62372/VF+test.jpg Diagnostic Tests - Visual Field Testing A visual field machine projects a series of white light stimuli of varying intensities (brightness), throughout a uniformly illuminated bowl. Patients use a handheld button that they press to indicate when they see a light. This assesses the retina's ability to detect a stimulus at specific points within the visual field. A typical test takes between five and eight minutes per eye. As the gold standard of visual field testing, our Humphrey® Field Analyzer 3 (HFA3) machines offer the optimal balance of accuracy and testing speed. https://www.paloaltoeye.com/our-doctors daily 0.75 2022-05-02 https://www.paloaltoeye.com/news daily 0.75 2022-12-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fcc125afe71305fc601929/a88b26c9-6db1-4026-a307-683a55d436a7/Newsletter+Front.jpg https://www.paloaltoeye.com/light-adjustable-lenses daily 0.75 2024-08-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61fcc125afe71305fc601929/52916cb4-0eb0-4212-a963-eea99740dd4a/lightadjustablelens-561736962.jpg Light Adjustable Lenses - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
