VisiPlate: a brighter future for glaucoma patients
About VisiPlate
- Multichannel – VisiPlate is designed to lower eye pressure through a network of microchannels that control aqueous drainage from the anterior chamber.
- Ultrathin – VisiPlate is several times thinner than a human hair. VisiPlate leverages an ultrathin material with the goal of achieving greater patient comfort and aesthetics.
- Innovative Composition – VisiPlate is composed of alumina and Parylene-C with the goal of minimizing foreign body response and reducing the risk of scarring.
