This new surgical technique, which uses an implant to optimize drainage and reduce intraocular pressure, is performed concurrently with cataract surgery. This combination not only streamlines the procedure but also accelerates patient recovery.

The surgery is characterized by its high safety, rapid recovery, and minimal postoperative discomfort, allowing patients to resume their daily activities quickly.

Previously, patients requiring this type of treatment had to be referred to other reference hospitals. With the implementation of this innovation, Blanes Hospital can offer more localized and specialized care, strengthening continuity of care with the same medical team responsible for both the intervention and subsequent follow-up.

This advancement is part of the growth of the hospital's Ophthalmology department, which recently also incorporated retina surgery, thus consolidating the increase in the complexity of care offered by the hospital.
