How aging increases risk of dry eyes
Learn how aging raises the risk of dry eyes and its impact on eye health. Explore insights into the connection between aging, glaucoma, and dry eye syndrome.
Glaucoma is a progressive disease of the eye that if left untreated, can eventually lead to blindness. Glaucoma is commonly associated with increased intraocular pressure (IOP) in the eye due to an imbalance in production and outflow of aqueous humor, which is the fluid produced by the eye. Glaucoma is asymptomatic – meaning it occurs without noticeable symptoms appearing—and can often go undiagnosed without proper checkups, and worsen over time.
Individual outcomes may vary. The depiction may not reflect the typical glaucoma patient’s experience and the timeline may vary. It is not intended to represent of guarantee that anyone will have the same or similar outcomes.
iStent inject® W is one of the smallest devices known to be implanted in the human body and it can have benefits for glaucoma patients with cataracts. The iStent inject® W stents create two bypasses, or openings, between the front part of your eye and its natural drainage pathway, restoring your eye’s natural ability to drain fluid and reducing your intraocular pressure (IOP).
Is iStent inject® W Right for me?
Implanted during cataract surgery, iStent inject® W can effectively lower intraocular pressure (IOP), one of the most important risk factors for glaucoma, and may reduce your reliance on glaucoma medication at the discretion of an eye care professional.

"I am happy and satisfied with the iStent treatment by Dr Cheng from HUKM. Everything is good. No discomfort during and after surgery. I am getting better which leads me to a better quality of life "
"Anyway, I highly recommend iStent instead doing bug surgery for glaucoma patients, 'm very happy and satisfied with the product."
"No discomfort during and after surgery. Eyes pressure has dropped to 16mmHg, and medication reduced from 3 to 2 drops. Everthing is good. Planning to do her other eye in 2 months"
"so, I would advise every patient to do a regular eye check for early Glaucoma Diagnosis and the same time, do consider iStent surgery because it helps to reduce loss of vision"
I can't express how grateful i am. Dealing with glaucoma was a constant worry for me, but this revolutionary device has truly changed my life. My eye pressure has been consistently stable and i've been able to enjoy better vision without the stress of glaucoma looming over me. The procedure was quick and virtually painless and the results have been outstanding. I am also grateful to Dr. Zulhilmi Abdul Razak from UIA for his professional skills and made it possible.
I am very grateful to Dato. Dr. Loo Cheen Yeng of Laser Pro Eye Centre, Seremban for recommending me to have iStent for treating my glaucoma problem. I was on 4 antiglaucoma eye drops, my eyes were red, dry, and burning. And my eyelashes were growing inward, it was so painful. I went to many eye specialists, and they suggested I go for a trabeculectomy, they said that I would have to take extra care after the surgery and my eyes would be red, itch, and painful for a long time, and they couldn’t guarantee the results and they said that the risk of failure would be high. I was scared. I finally met Dr. Loo and decided to have my eyes treated by her after knowing that I didn’t have to rush for the trabeculectomy. She offered me iStent. Being a comprehensive surgeon, Dr. Loo first fixed my eyelash problem. Then she implanted iStent on my right eye on 15/02/2022. After the operation, my left eye pressure dropped from 22mmhg to 15 mmHg and I looked much better because she stopped some of my eye drops. Four months later, I decided to have iStent operated on my left eye on 6/9/2022. Now my both eyes' pressure has been very constant at 15mmhg without any eye drops! I feel so comfortable, and everyone notices that my eyes look much better and my life is back to normal like many years ago, I strongly recommend those who suffer from eye problems, to go to Dato Dr. Loo for treatments. because there is no side effect and most of all, it is worth the money spent on iStent.
Suffering from advanced glaucoma, my follow-ups at Pantai Hospital revealed severe side effects from maximum eye drops, I had an unbearably painful cornea ulcer, and my eyes looked terrible. Despite being informed by many eye specialists that my only surgery option was trabeculectomy, I decided not to proceed because of the high risk. As recommended by my friend, I went to Dr. Loo at Sehat Healthcare Centre Seremban, which became my best choice. Under her care, I underwent iStent surgeries in both eyes, with the left stent on 30/5/23 and the right stent on 19/9/23. My IOP levels have significantly improved. Currently, my right eye measures an IOP of 19, and my left eye measures 14, with the added benefit of no longer requiring glaucoma drops. To further optimize my eye health, Dr Loo has recommended the incorporation of timolol for the right eye, aiming to lower the IOP to a targeted range of 15-16. I am delighted to share my testimonial, highlighting the remarkable treatment I received under the care of Dr. Loo
Dr Chan Suet Mei from Ipoh Eye Specialist Centre is a responsible and very professional doctor. From my first consultation to the completion of my both eye surgery, she professionally explained everything about my condition and made me feel at ease to leave my eye surgery to her. I am facing a special medical condition of both eye polar cataract with ocular hypertension. My eye pressure was extremely high, about 30mmHg both side. Dr Chan had implanted ISTENT in my both eyes after informing me about the benefit of Istent which can be done together with the cataract surgery, and it is totally minimally invasive. It has been a month and a half now and everything is recovering well, my both eye pressure have dropped to 18mmHg without antiglaucoma. ISTENT has saved me from the usage of glaucoma eyedrops.
