OMNI Glaucoma Surgery London: Revolutionary MIGS Treatment

Stop Daily Glaucoma Eye Drops Forever with OMNI® Minimally Invasive Surgery

Are you struggling with daily glaucoma eye drops? Experiencing irritating side effects or forgetting doses? OMNI® glaucoma surgery offers a permanent solution to reduce intraocular pressure without the daily burden of eye drops. At Harley Vision in London, our expert glaucoma surgeons specialize in this revolutionary minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) procedure on prestigious Harley Street.

What is OMNI Glaucoma Surgery?

OMNI® Surgical System is a cutting-edge minimally invasive glaucoma surgery that treats open-angle glaucoma by helping to restore your eye’s natural drainage system. Unlike traditional glaucoma treatments that merely manage symptoms, OMNI addresses the root cause of elevated eye pressure.

This innovative MIGS procedure combines two proven glaucoma treatments in one seamless operation:

Canaloplasty: Gently dilates and restores Schlemm’s canal (the eye’s primary drainage channel) to improve aqueous humor outflow

Trabeculotomy: Creates microscopic openings in the trabecular meshwork, clearing blockages that cause pressure buildup in glaucoma patients

Why Choose OMNI Over Traditional Glaucoma Treatment?

Problems with Daily Glaucoma Eye Drops:

• Side effects: Burning, stinging, redness, and allergic reactions
• Poor adherence: Difficulty remembering multiple daily doses
• Progression risk: Missed doses can lead to vision loss
• Cost burden: Lifetime expense of prescription medications
• Lifestyle impact: Travel restrictions and daily routine disruptions

OMNI Glaucoma Surgery Benefits:

• ✅ Eliminate or reduce eye drops – Most patients significantly decrease medication dependence
• ✅ Minimally invasive – Microscopic incision with faster healing than traditional surgery
• ✅ Quick recovery – Return to normal activities within days, not weeks
• ✅ Dual procedure option – Can be performed simultaneously with cataract surgery
• ✅ Preserves future options – Doesn’t limit additional treatments if needed
• ✅ Long-term effectiveness – Sustained intraocular pressure reduction

Who is a Candidate for OMNI Glaucoma Surgery?

OMNI® is ideal for patients with:

• Mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma
• Primary open-angle glaucoma

• Pigmentary glaucoma
• High intraocular pressure despite medication

OMNI Glaucoma Surgery Procedure: What to Expect

Pre-Surgery Assessment:

Our London glaucoma specialists conduct comprehensive evaluations including:

• Visual field testing (perimetry) to assess peripheral vision

• Gonioscopy to examine drainage angle anatomy
• Tonometry for accurate intraocular pressure measurement
• Pachymetry to measure corneal thickness

During Surgery:

• Can be performed under local anesthesia as daycase procedure
• Takes approximately 15-20 minutes
• Microscopic 1.8mm incision
• Real-time visualization using advanced surgical microscopy
• Simultaneous canaloplasty and trabeculotomy through single approach

Recovery Timeline:

• Day 1: Mild discomfort, protective eye shield
• Week 1: Gradual vision improvement, antibiotic drops
• Month 1: Significant IOP reduction measurable
• 3-6 months: Maximum pressure reduction achieved

OMNI Surgery Success Rates and Clinical Evidence

Published clinical studies demonstrate:

• A reduction in average pressure from 21.8 to 15.6
• 89% of patients considered a treatment success (greater than 20% IOP reduction) in a large meta-analysis

Frequently Asked Questions About OMNI Glaucoma Surgery

How long does OMNI glaucoma surgery take?

The OMNI procedure is typically done with cataract surgery, taking approximately 30 minutes per eye (including the cataract removal and lens implant)

Is OMNI glaucoma surgery painful?

Patients experience minimal discomfort during and after surgery. Local anesthesia ensures the procedure is painless, with mild soreness possible for 1-2 days post-operatively.

When can I return to work after OMNI surgery?

Most patients return to desk work within 2-3 days. Physical labour or strenuous activities should be avoided for 1-2 weeks.

Will I still need glaucoma eye drops after OMNI?

While individual results vary, approximately 70-85% of patients significantly reduce or eliminate their need for daily glaucoma medications.

Can OMNI surgery be repeated?

Yes, OMNI can be repeated if necessary, and it doesn’t preclude other future glaucoma treatments.

What are the risks of OMNI glaucoma surgery?

As a minimally invasive procedure, OMNI has very low complication rates. Potential risks include temporary IOP elevation, mild bleeding, or infection (less than 1% incidence).

How soon will I see results from OMNI surgery?

Intraocular pressure reduction begins immediately, with maximum benefit typically achieved within 3-6 months.

Is OMNI suitable for severe glaucoma?

OMNI is most effective for mild to moderate glaucoma. Severe cases may require more invasive procedures like trabeculectomy.
