What is the PRESERFLO™ MicroShunt?

The PRESERFLO™ MicroShunt is a next-generation device designed to help lower intraocular pressure (IOP)—the main cause of damage in glaucoma. Unlike traditional glaucoma surgeries, this micro-invasive procedure offers a safer, faster recovery while effectively managing pressure within the eye.

Why Choose Preserflo?

  • Minimally invasive: Less disruption to eye tissues
  • Shorter recovery time compared to traditional procedures
  • Reduced medication dependency
  • Ideal for patients with open-angle glaucoma

A Need for Safer, Earlier Surgical Options

Glaucoma is a complex condition to manage and remains the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. For many patients who require surgery, doctors have traditionally had to choose between procedures that offer strong IOP control or those with lower risk of complications. This challenge often delays surgical intervention.

With devices like the PRESERFLO™ MicroShunt, patients with primary open-angle glaucoma can now benefit from earlier treatment options that strike a better balance—offering both safety and effective pressure reduction to help preserve long-term vision.

A Breakthrough in Glaucoma Care

Our glaucoma specialists at CODET are highly trained in this innovative technique. By offering the PRESERFLO™ MicroShunt, we aim to improve quality of life and preserve vision for patients who may not have responded well to medications or earlier treatments.
