Bimatoprost Implant
Durysta is a prescription eye implant that delivers the medication bimatoprost directly into the eye to lower intraocular pressure. It is used to treat open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension in patients who need help managing their eye pressure. Unlike daily eye drops, Durysta provides sustained-release treatment over several months, potentially improving medication adherence.
Durysta is an intraocular implant that delivers glaucoma medication continuously for several months to reduce eye pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Durysta is indicated for the reduction of intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who require intraocular pressure reduction.
Durysta contains bimatoprost, a prostaglandin analog that increases aqueous humor outflow from the eye through the trabecular meshwork, thereby reducing intraocular pressure. The biodegradable implant releases medication gradually over approximately 4-6 months.
Durysta is administered as an in-office procedure by a qualified healthcare professional and is not self-administered. Common side effects may include eye redness, eye pain, and conjunctival hyperemia. Patients should have regular follow-up appointments to monitor intraocular pressure and check for potential complications such as implant migration or corneal damage.
