I just had cataract surgery and this stent implant done in the same surgery. My IOP was 39, the highest ever, but the doctor said it is a steroid response. I just saw another video talking about steroid response and not to confuse with stent failure. I am now being weaned off steroid eye drops.
Hmmm, yeah i heard that happens, but temporarily wt the surgery. Personally as an active person i prefer (also have a fear) not to have any stent/device implant. I have this seriously good doctor who insists on bringing IOP down to 12-15. I saw the first Dr for 18years & he was also very good. After he left i was referred to her by a friend. She insists on proper diet & exercise as well. I use the drops & also had ALT done once....that along wt proper diet my pressure was down to 15 & as low as 13..... Have you ever heard of "AB-Interno Canaloplasty? Its one of the best low risk surgeries i have seen. Since your inplant, whats your IOP readings now?
