Understanding Glaucoma

Gurjeet Jutley offers a wide range of surgical options in the armamentarium of glaucoma management. His extensive experience in treating glaucoma allows him to recommend the most suitable treatment plan, including the advanced OMNI Surgical System.

What is OMNI Surgery?

OMNI Surgery is a minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) designed to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) by restoring the natural drainage of fluid from the eye. Unlike traditional glaucoma surgeries that create an external drainage pathway, OMNI works internally to enhance the eye’s natural outflow system, making it a safe and effective procedure.

During the procedure, the OMNI device is inserted through a micro incision at the edge of the cornea to treat three critical areas of resistance within the eye’s drainage system. This improves the outflow of fluid and helps reduce intraocular pressure, which is essential for preventing further damage to the optic nerve. Dr. Jutley is highly skilled in performing OMNI surgery, ensuring a precise and personalised approach for each patient.

 

Benefits of OMNI Surgery

OMNI Surgery offers several advantages over traditional glaucoma surgeries and other MIGS procedures, including:

  • Minimally invasive approach – Small incisions mean reduced surgical trauma and quicker recovery times.
  • Implant-free procedure – Unlike some other glaucoma treatments, OMNI does not require an implant, eliminating the risk of implant-related complications.
  • Comprehensive treatment – The OMNI system addresses all major points of resistance in the eye’s drainage system, ensuring a more effective reduction in intraocular pressure.
  • Can be combined with cataract surgery – OMNI surgery can be performed alongside cataract surgery without adding extra recovery time.
  • May reduce dependence on glaucoma medications – Many patients find that OMNI surgery decreases or even eliminates their need for daily eye drops.

Is OMNI Surgery Right for You?

While OMNI surgery is an excellent option for many patients with mild to moderate glaucoma, it may not be suitable for advanced cases. Each patient’s condition is unique, and a thorough assessment by an experienced ophthalmologist is necessary to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
