Mr Rahman has an interest in MIGS or minimally invasive treatments for glaucoma (known commonly as "keyhole" surgery). The aim of treatment is either to reduce or completely remove the number of eyedrops a patient may need to take.
ISTENT INJECT
The iStent Inject is one of the smallest implantable medical devices that exists. It is often inserted at the end of cataract surgery, so patients who need cataract surgery to improve their vision but who also have glaucoma would benefit. It can also be inserted even if cataract surgery is not required.
Once implanted, the device helps restore the natural ability of the eye to lower pressure, reducing or completely eliminating the need for eye drops.
Mr Rahman uses the latest generation istent device, and has implanted more devices than any other surgeon in Scotland.

SELECTIVE LASER TRABECULOPLASTY
Selective Laser trabeculplasty is a type of non surgical treatment that uses a laser to gently heat up some of the structures in the eye. This helps lower the eye pressure, and a recent landmark clinical trial (LIGHT study) has suggested that this is an effective treatment option in patients with glaucoma. Mr Rahman has performed hundreds of SLT treatments. Please arrange a consultation to discuss further.
