Overview
An Aqueous Shunt Implant (ASI) is a medical device used to treat glaucoma, a debilitating eye condition that can lead to vision loss. The device redirects the buildup of aqueous humor, a clear liquid in the eye, from affected areas in the eye. It is implanted in the eye to reduce intraocular pressure, which is the main cause of glaucoma. An ASI is a minimally invasive procedure with a short recovery time compared to other glaucoma treatments. It offers a safe and effective method for controlling eye pressure and reducing the risk of blindness. The device can also be used to treat other medical conditions, such as uveitis and eye trauma.
