The eye is normally quiet, and vision is maintained soon after surgery. CLASS learning curve is fast. The fluid percolation is titrated during surgery, and further laser applications are provided until a satisfactory clinical result is achieved.

IOPtima’s CLASS procedure has true advantages over the Trabeculectomy surgery as it offers an excellent safety profile with an ease of use. It can lower pressure into the lower teens and reduce the patient’s reliance on glaucoma medications without subjecting the eye to the risks of Trabeculectomy. It also reduces learning curve time for performing deep sclerectomy with very similar results to published data.”

In my experience, patient follow up (24 months) demonstrates consistent and sustained IOP lowering. The efficacy and simplicity of the IOPtiMate procedure is remarkable

From my experience Using IOPtima’s CLASS, the procedure is (1) effective in lowering IOP, (2) Easy to use with a short learning curve, (3) high safety profile due to a its laser qualities and (4) reduced post-op recovery and complications associated with other penetrating surgeries

There’s no other glaucoma surgery that maintains the anterior chamber untouched. In standalone case, not even a side port incision is needed. Hence, speedy recovery, no anterior chamber inflammation and least chances of cataract formation. Once you go CLASS you never go TRAB
