What is Glaucoma? Glaucoma is actually a group of diseases that affect the optic nerve and cells of the retina. Increased pressure within the eye (intra-ocular pressure) is a contributing factor to glaucoma and, if left untreated, can lead to blindness.
Current Options for Glaucoma. TR-ClarifEYE™ can now be added to the list of surgical options available for your pet. Your veterinary ophthalmologist has several medical and surgical options to manage your pet’s glaucoma. TR-ClarifEYE is a new surgical option introduced in July 2009 which offers an alternative to other surgical procedures, including endoscopic laser.
We encourage all owners to discuss medical and surgical options with their veterinarian. The staff veterinarians at TR BioSurgical, LLC are not permitted to discuss your pet's condition with you directly. Please have your veterinarian contact us with any questions about TR-ClarifEYE™.
