Sight Sciences | Next-Generation OMNI Surgical System
We do lots of minimally invasive glaucoma (MIGS) procedures during
cataract surgeries. They're a great solution to address two major prob-
lems in one surgery. This platform allows surgeons to combine two
distinct angle procedures — ab interno trabeculotomy and translumi-
nal viscoelastic delivery. The company also claims this is the only
MIGS device that targets all three points of aqueous humor outflow
resistance: trabecular meshwork, Schlemm's canal and distal collector
channels. At virtual ASCRS, Sight Sciences announced improvements
made to the device based on physician feedback. The updates focus
on improving surgeon comfort and usability. It has an updated Luer
lock fitting and a pull pin that the company says is more efficient for
priming and preparing the device; a more ergonomic, stable handle
with a flexi-grip surface; enhanced gearing; and a more intuitive wheel
design that enables smoother deployment and retraction of the micro-
catheter.
