- <h3>The Challenge of IOP</h3>
175
- <p>Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases often characterized by elevated Intraocular Pressure (IOP). [3, 6] This pressure rises when the eye's natural fluid (aqueous humor) doesn't drain properly due to blockage. [3, 8]</p>
176
- <p>Sustained high IOP damages the optic nerve, responsible for sending visual information to the brain, which can lead to permanent vision loss. [2, 3, 6] The core goal of glaucoma treatment is effectively lowering IOP to preserve sight. [1, 7]</p>

191
- <h3>Device Overview</h3>
192
- <p>The Preserflo™ MicroShunt is a tiny, soft, flexible tube, about 8-8.5mm long, designed specifically for glaucoma surgery. [2, 3, 7, 21] Its primary function is to safely lower eye pressure. [1, 2, 7]</p>
193
- <p>It's crafted from SIBS (poly(styrene-block-isobutylene-block-styrene)), a highly biocompatible and inert material also used in coronary stents. [1, 2, 7, 24] This minimizes inflammation and the risk of rejection or degradation. [2, 3, 7, 23]</p>
194
- <p>Features include stabilizing fins and a precise lumen diameter (70µm internal) designed to control fluid outflow. [1, 8, 13, 22] It is non-metallic and MRI/CT safe. [2, 3, 7]</p>

215
- <h3>Creating a New Pathway</h3>
216
- <p>The MicroShunt acts as a bypass for the eye's natural, obstructed drainage system. [3, 6, 7, 13]</p>
217
- <p>Implanted via an 'ab externo' approach, one end sits in the anterior chamber, accessing the excess aqueous humor. [1, 4, 6, 8] The other end channels this fluid out of the eye, directing it into the subconjunctival/sub-Tenon space. [2, 4, 8, 23]</p>
218
- <p>This drained fluid forms a small, low-profile reservoir called a 'bleb' under the upper eyelid, where it is safely absorbed by surrounding tissues into the bloodstream, thus reducing IOP. [2, 3, 5, 7]</p>

260
- <li>Anesthesia options include local (injection or drops) or general anesthesia. [1, 2, 19]</li>
261
- <li>Utilizes an 'ab externo' technique, familiar to glaucoma surgeons. [1, 22, 23]</li>
262
- <li>Involves a conjunctival incision and careful dissection. [1, 2]</li>
263
- <li>Mitomycin-C (MMC), an anti-scarring agent, is applied to enhance long-term success. [1, 2, 21, 17]</li>
264
- <li>The MicroShunt is inserted, and the conjunctiva is closed, often with dissolvable stitches. [2, 3]</li>

338
- <p>While designed for safety, potential surgical risks include:</p>
339
- <ul>
340
- <li><strong>IOP Fluctuations:</strong> Pressure may become too low (hypotony, often transient) or remain too high (hypertension), potentially requiring management. [1, 2, 3, 9, 13, 20, 21, 28]</li>
341
- <li><strong>Bleeding (Hyphema):</strong> Usually minimal and resolves spontaneously; severe bleeding is rare. [2, 7, 9, 21]</li>
342
- <li><strong>Infection (Endophthalmitis):</strong> A rare but serious lifelong risk associated with filtering blebs. [2, 3, 9, 13]</li>
343
- <li><strong>Need for Re-intervention:</strong> Scarring or blockage may necessitate procedures like bleb needling or surgical revision. [1, 2, 3, 16, 20, 28, 29]</li>
344
- <li><strong>Other Potential Issues:</strong> Transient blurred vision, shallow anterior chamber, choroidal effusion/detachment, cataract progression, rare shunt exposure or migration. [1, 2, 3, 9, 20]</li>
345
- </ul>
346
- <p>Regular post-operative monitoring is crucial for optimal outcomes. [2, 3, 5]</p>
