Summary
Magnetic glaucoma drainage devices like eyeWatch™ can be safely used in patients needing MRI scans. Post-scan adjustments ensure intraocular pressure (IOP) stability and maintain imaging quality without complications.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Medical Devices
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Background:
- Glaucoma drainage devices aim to manage intraocular pressure (IOP) post-surgery.
- The eyeWatch™ features an adjustable magnetic rotor for IOP control.
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) poses a potential risk to magnetic implants.
