Ex-Press mini shunt placement is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat glaucoma by implanting a small, titanium drainage device into the eye. This device helps to drain excess aqueous humor, lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) and preventing damage to the optic nerve.

The Ex-Press mini shunt is placed through a small incision, typically during cataract surgery, and provides a controlled drainage pathway. This procedure is effective for patients with open-angle glaucoma who require surgical intervention.

Ex-Press mini shunt placement offers a safer, more effective solution for managing glaucoma compared to traditional surgeries, with a quicker recovery time and fewer complications.
