Doctors have performed many successful Trabectome treatments for Glaucoma

• George Baerveldt, M.D.
  Professor and Chair Department of Ophthalmology
  University of California, Irvine, CA
  "Trabectome is unique in that it facilitates access to the eye's natural drainage pathways."
• Don Minckler, M.D.
  Professor, Department of Ophthalmology
  University of California, Irvine, CA
  "Trabectome is considerably safer and simpler than currently available alternative glaucoma surgical therapies and has the potential to become a new "gold standard."
• Brian Francis, M.D.
  Associate Professor, Department of Ophthalmology
  Doheny Eye Institute, Los Angeles, CA
  "Trabectome is an elegant and safe anterior segment procedure that can easily be combined with Phaco cataract extraction and provides excellent and effective reduction of IOP."
• Sameh Mosaed, M.D.
  Assistant Professor, Department of Ophthalmology
  University of California, Irvine, CA
  "Considering the excellent safety profile and the ease of use of Trabectome, it may be recognized as an alternative to medical or laser therapy, given side effects and cost of glaucoma medications and patient compliance issues."
• Marina Ramirez, M.D.
  Director, Glaucoma Service
  Codet Aris Eye Institude, Mexico
  "Trabectome has particular application in developing countries as it offers an economical, one time safe and effective glaucoma therapy."
• Richard Wilson, M.D.
  Professor of Ophthalmology
  Wills Eye Hospital, Philadelphia, PA
  "Using the trabectome to perform a trabeculotomy is the easiest of all the canalicular surgeries and one of the most effective."
• Nicholas G. Donas, M.D.
  St. John´s and Community Hospital at Dobbs Ferry
  Dobbs Ferry, NY
  "…minimally invasive, extremely well tolerated, safe and effective."
• Murray A. Johnstone, M.D.
  Swedish Medical Center
  Seattle, WA
  "…provides a surgical option for patients uncontrolled with medical therapy while avoiding all the problems associated with traditional filtering procedures…"
• David H. Marshall, M.D.
  Ottawa, Canada
  "Trabectome is a much safer procedure than trabeculectomy. It can lower pressure into the mid teens and reduce the patient’s reliance on glaucoma medications without subjecting the eye to the risks of trabeculectomy."
• Kenneth Mitchell, M.D.
  Associate Professor
  West Virginia University, WV
  "The advantage is that it's much less invasive than other types of surgery… patient compliance is better, and this makes the disease easier to manage."
• Steven Vold, M.D.
  BoozmanHof Eye Clinic
  Rogers, AR
  "1) Effectiveness in lower IOP 2) Ease of use 3) Patient safety 4) Reduced post-op recovery period 5) Excellent adjunct to cataract surgery in patients with both cataract and glaucoma."
