Clinical results demonstrate long-term efficacy of the OMNI® Surgical System for primary open-angle glaucoma and support use of TearCare® technology as a primary treatment for dry eye disease.
OMNI technology facilitates surgeons’ ability to perform a comprehensive, implant-free, minimally invasive glaucoma surgical procedure in adults with primary open-angle glaucoma (“POAG”). TearCare technology enables a proprietary, interventional eyelid procedure for diseased meibomian glands and is intended for the application of localized heat therapy in adult patients with evaporative dry eye disease (“DED”) due to meibomian gland dysfunction, when used in conjunction with manual expression of the meibomian glands.
“We are excited that additional data supporting the efficacy and safety of our OMNI and TearCare technologies will be presented at ASCRS, the largest annual gathering for anterior segment surgeons,” said
