What Is iDose® TR?
iDose® TR is a tiny, FDA-approved implant placed inside the eye to manage elevated eye pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Unlike traditional treatment that relies on eye drops, iDose® TR continuously releases medication exactly where it’s needed—right inside the eye. This means long-term pressure control, better consistency, and freedom from the stress of daily medication routines.
What Are the Benefits of iDose® TR?
You’re not asking for much—just to see clearly for the rest of your life. iDose® TR helps with that. Here’s how:
- Consistent Drug Delivery: No more ups and downs from missed doses—this implant works 24/7.
- Better Treatment Adherence: Removes the human error of forgetting drops, knocking them over, or just giving up.
- Minimally Invasive Procedure: The implant is inserted in a short outpatient procedure—no stitches, no hospital stay.
- Fewer Side Effects: By bypassing the surface of the eye, it reduces the risk of irritation caused by drops.
- Long-Lasting Results: Most patients reduce or eliminate the need for additional glaucoma meds for a year or longer.
Why Might You Need iDose® TR?
Glaucoma doesn’t take a day off—and neither should your treatment. If you:
- Struggle to keep up with your eye drop routine,
- Experience side effects from topical medications,
- Have progressive open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension,
…then iDose® TR may be a game-changer. It provides around-the-clock medication delivery and takes forgetfulness (and frustration) out of the equation.
