doctors perform hydrus micro stent implantation

Visakhapatnam: In a remarkable achievement in glaucoma care, the Sankar Foundation glaucoma team, led by T Raveendra, performed a hydrus micro stent implantation, on a patient.

The hydrus micro stent is a minimally Invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) device designed to improve aqueous humor outflow through Schlemm’s canal, ensuring sustained control of intraocular pressure while minimising surgical trauma. This breakthrough technology offers a safer and more effective treatment option for glaucoma patients, reducing complications and promoting faster recovery. The successful implantation reflects the hospital’s commitment to bringing globally-advanced ophthalmic technologies to the region. The procedure was completed with the support of doctors K Manjuvalli, B Keerthana and Raveendra. Congratulating the medical team, M Ramdas, chairman, board of trustees and A. Krishna Kumar, managing trustee and CEO of the foundation, hailed the achievement as a testament to the institution’s unwavering pursuit of clinical excellence, innovation, and leadership in eye care. Through such pioneering initiatives, they said, the foundation continues to transform lives by preserving vision and enhancing the quality of life for patients.
