Looking for an alternative option to prescription eye drops? Ask about iDose TR—a convenient, FDA-approved treatment that helps lower eye pressure in people with open-angle glaucoma or high eye pressure (ocular hypertension). Barely visible to the human eye, iDose TR is a tiny implant specially designed to continuously release proven eye pressure-lowering medication directly inside the eye, when and where it’s needed most.
iDose TR delivers the prescription medication needed to lower eye pressure, without the inconvenience of prescription eye drops or challenges of putting drops in the eye.
iDose TR was proven safe and effective in clinical studies—8 out of 10 people were completely free of prescription eye drops at 12 months with iDose TR.
