Patient Portal
Eye Physicians & Surgeons of Arizona is participating in a national FDA-monitored clinical trial evaluating the XEN63 Gel Stent, developed by AbbVie, for the treatment of glaucoma.
This study is designed to assess the safety, effectiveness, and outcomes of the XEN63 implant when placed using two surgical approaches, Ab Interno (from inside the eye) and Ab Externo (from outside the eye). Both techniques are minimally invasive and aim to lower intraocular pressure by improving fluid drainage, helping to protect the optic nerve and preserve vision.
