Minimally Invasive Implant Placement Procedure Details

iDose TR is placed through a tiny incision in each eye. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, and the procedure is performed in an outpatient setting for convenience.

Immediate Medication Delivery

Once in place, the implant begins releasing prescription medication right away, helping reduce eye pressure from day one.

Fast Recovery

Most patients go home the same day and can resume normal activities quickly. Any mild eye redness or irritation typically resolves within a few days.

Long-Term Pressure Control

The implant continuously delivers medication for up to three years, maintaining eye pressure without daily drops or missed doses.

Who Is a Good Candidate for iDose?

iDose TR is appropriate for patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who:

Have difficulty adhering to a daily eye drop regimen
Experience irritation or side effects from eye drops
Want a long-term solution to maintain steady eye pressure
Have no active eye infections or corneal conditions

Your eye doctor will evaluate your eyes and medical history to ensure iDose TR is safe and suitable for you.

Recovery

Most patients recover quickly after iDose TR placement. You may notice mild eye irritation or redness, but these usually resolve rapidly.

Regular follow-up visits allow your doctor to monitor eye pressure and ensure optimal implant function. Patients often return to normal reading, work, and daily activities within a day or two.

iDose TR Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the iDose TR implant last?

iDose TR continuously delivers medication for up to three years, providing steady eye pressure control without the daily need for drops. Your doctor will monitor progress and determine the right time for replacement.

Is the iDose TR procedure painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort. The implant is placed through a tiny incision in an outpatient setting, and anesthesia ensures the procedure is gentle and well-tolerated.

Will I still need eye drops after receiving iDose TR?

Many patients can reduce or completely stop their prescription eye drops. Your doctor will customize your treatment plan based on your pressure readings and individual response.

Can iDose TR be used in both eyes at the same time?

Yes. Your doctor may recommend treatment for both eyes, but typically the procedure is spaced to allow for optimal healing and monitoring of eye pressure.

Are there any restrictions after iDose TR implantation?

For the first few days, patients should avoid rubbing their eyes, swimming, or using other eye drops unless prescribed. Most people return to normal activities quickly, but follow-up visits ensure safe recovery.

Who should not get iDose TR?

iDose TR is not suitable if you have an active eye infection, certain corneal conditions, a history of corneal transplant, narrow angles, or allergies to the implant components. Our experienced eye doctors will carefully assess your eligibility.

How quickly does iDose TR start working?

Medication begins lowering eye pressure immediately after implantation. This continuous delivery ensures consistent therapy around the clock.

Can iDose TR help patients who struggle with traditional glaucoma drops?

Yes. Patients who experience burning, stinging, or difficulty applying drops often benefit from iDose TR’s steady, hands-free delivery system.

Is iDose TR safe for long-term use?

Clinical studies demonstrate that iDose TR is safe and effective. Most side effects are mild and temporary, and ongoing monitoring ensures the implant is performing properly.

Do I need regular follow-ups after getting iDose TR?

Absolutely. Follow-up visits allow your doctor to track eye pressure, assess healing, and ensure your vision remains protected. Regular check-ins are a key part of effective glaucoma treatment.
