About the Company

Glaukos

Medical devices for glaucoma treatment

Glaukos focuses on ophthalmology by developing and commercializing medical devices and therapies for glaucoma, corneal disorders, and retinal diseases. Its products mainly target surgeons who treat eye conditions, with a core technology in micro invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). The company’s MIGS devices, such as the Trabecular Micro Bypass Stent and next-generation iStent, are implanted in the eye to improve outflow of eye fluid and lower intraocular pressure, offering a less invasive option compared with traditional surgeries. Glaukos differentiates itself by pioneering MIGS and bringing the first US-approved MIGS device to market in 2012, continuing to expand its portfolio through research, development, and strategic acquisitions. The company aims to improve patient care by providing safer, effective, and longer-lasting treatment options for glaucoma and related eye diseases, addressing unmet needs in ophthalmology.
