A glaucoma drainage implant is a small device placed in the eye to treat glaucoma. There are many different ways to treat glaucoma. In addition to conventional and laser surgery, there are a variety of drugs to lower intraocular pressure (IOP). If these methods alone fail, doctors may suggest implants.

It is understood that glaucoma is an irreversible blinding eye disease that is highly harmful and irreversible. Glaucoma brings heavy economic burdens and physiological and psychological distress to patients and society.

Glaucoma blindness is a chronic process. Early detection and reasonable and effective treatment can avoid blindness. Lowering intraocular pressure to treat open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is currently the only proven effective method to slow the progression of glaucoma. For every 1 mmHg decrease in intraocular pressure, the risk of glaucoma progression is reduced by 10%. The European, American and Asia-Pacific Glaucoma Associations as well as my country's glaucoma diagnosis and treatment guidelines all recommend the setting of target intraocular pressure. The main methods of treating glaucoma in my country include drugs, lasers and surgery. However, due to the complexity of risk factors, target intraocular pressures are not the same, and individuals have different responses to treatment. It has been reported that one-third of patients do not meet the target intraocular pressure, which means that they will find it difficult to maintain good vision and quality of life during their lifetime. Therefore, it is urgent to develop new methods to solve this problem. Internationally, new, minimally invasive, and biocompatible drainage devices provide more options and better solutions for glaucoma treatment.

Glaucoma aqueous shunts are implanted in the eye to establish a new aqueous humor outflow path from the anterior chamber (the area inside the eye filled with aqueous humor) to the subconjunctival space (the area between the sclera and conjunctiva). The aqueous humor is drained to the subconjunctival space through the shunt, forming a filtration bleb, thereby reducing the intraocular pressure

Market development trend

Technological innovation: With the continuous advancement of science and technology, glaucoma shunts will continue to introduce new technologies and new materials to improve product performance and safety. For example, the integration of intelligent technology will make glaucoma shunts more accurate and efficient.

Personalized treatment: With the improvement of medical level and the diversification of patient needs, personalized treatment will become an important development direction of the glaucoma shunt market. Enterprises need to provide customized products and services according to the specific conditions of patients to meet their personalized needs.

Internationalization strategy: With the development of global economic integration, the demand for glaucoma shunts in the international market is also increasing. Enterprises will strengthen international cooperation and expand overseas markets to achieve market expansion and global business layout.
