SummaryThe National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has issued full guidance to the NHS in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland on Trabecular stent bypass microsurgery for open angle glaucoma.DescriptionPrimary open-angle glaucoma is a condition associated with a long-term increase of pressure within the eye. It may gradually lead to permanent loss of sight because of damage to the nerve that connects the eye to the brain (optic nerve).This new procedure involves inserting a hollow metal tube (stent) into the eye in order to help fluid to drain from the front chamber of the eye.
