Tiny Drainage Stent Into The Eye's Drainage Angle

Minnesota rates for HCPCS 0191T

A very small stent is placed inside the eye, through a small incision, into the natural drainage channel in the angle where the iris meets the cornea. It opens a route for fluid to leave the eye so the pressure inside falls, which is the goal in treating glaucoma. This covers the first stent placed.
