Minimally Invasive Eye Drainage Implant Placement

Vermont rates for HCPCS 0253T

A surgeon places a tiny drainage device inside the eye to create a new pathway for fluid to leave the eye more easily, which helps lower eye pressure in people with glaucoma. It is typically done using very small incisions, often at the same time as cataract surgery, without the larger incision used in traditional glaucoma surgery. This approach is generally used for mild to moderate glaucoma.
