<h2>Understanding Glaucoma</h2>
<div class="slide-content">
<div class="text-content">
<h3>The Challenge of IOP</h3>
<p>Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases often characterized by elevated Intraocular Pressure (IOP). [3, 6] This pressure rises when the eye's natural fluid (aqueous humor) doesn't drain properly due to blockage. [3, 8]</p>
<p>Sustained high IOP damages the optic nerve, responsible for sending visual information to the brain, which can lead to permanent vision loss. [2, 3, 6] The core goal of glaucoma treatment is effectively lowering IOP to preserve sight. [1, 7]</p>

<h2>Introducing Preserflo™ MicroShunt</h2>
<div class="slide-content">
<div class="text-content">
<h3>Device Overview</h3>
<p>The Preserflo™ MicroShunt is a tiny, soft, flexible tube, about 8-8.5mm long, designed specifically for glaucoma surgery. [2, 3, 7, 21] Its primary function is to safely lower eye pressure. [1, 2, 7]</p>
<p>It's crafted from SIBS (poly(styrene-block-isobutylene-block-styrene)), a highly biocompatible and inert material also used in coronary stents. [1, 2, 7, 24] This minimizes inflammation and the risk of rejection or degradation. [2, 3, 7, 23]</p>
<p>Features include stabilizing fins and a precise lumen diameter (70µm internal) designed to control fluid outflow. [1, 8, 13, 22] It is non-metallic and MRI/CT safe. [2, 3, 7]</p>

</div>
<div class="text-content pl-8">
<h3>Creating a New Pathway</h3>
<p>The MicroShunt acts as a bypass for the eye's natural, obstructed drainage system. [3, 6, 7, 13]</p>
<p>Implanted via an 'ab externo' approach, one end sits in the anterior chamber, accessing the excess aqueous humor. [1, 4, 6, 8] The other end channels this fluid out of the eye, directing it into the subconjunctival/sub-Tenon space. [2, 4, 8, 23]</p>
<p>This drained fluid forms a small, low-profile reservoir called a 'bleb' under the upper eyelid, where it is safely absorbed by surrounding tissues into the bloodstream, thus reducing IOP. [2, 3, 5, 7]</p>

<h2>Who is a Candidate for Preserflo?</h2>
<div class="slide-content">
<div class="text-content">
<h3>Patient Suitability</h3>
<ul>
<li>Primarily indicated for Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma (POAG), including subtypes like pseudoexfoliation and pigmentary glaucoma. [1, 11, 18]</li>
<li>Patients whose IOP is not adequately controlled with maximal tolerated medications or laser therapy. [2, 7, 8, 11]</li>
<li>Individuals experiencing glaucoma progression that necessitates surgical intervention. [6, 8, 11]</li>
<li>Those who have difficulty with adherence to, or intolerance of, eye drop regimens. [7, 11]</li>
<li>May be considered for moderate-to-advanced glaucoma stages. [3, 10]</li>
</ul>
<p>Not suitable for angle-closure glaucoma, active infection, or severe dry eye. [1, 8, 13]</p>

<div class="text-content pl-8">
<h3>Surgical Steps</h3>
<ul>
<li>Typically performed as an outpatient (day surgery) procedure. [2, 4, 6, 13]</li>
<li>Surgery duration is often around 30-45 minutes. [2, 21, 26]</li>
<li>Anesthesia options include local (injection or drops) or general anesthesia. [1, 2, 19]</li>
<li>Utilizes an 'ab externo' technique, familiar to glaucoma surgeons. [1, 22, 23]</li>
<li>Involves a conjunctival incision and careful dissection. [1, 2]</li>
<li>Mitomycin-C (MMC), an anti-scarring agent, is applied to enhance long-term success. [1, 2, 21, 17]</li>
<li>The MicroShunt is inserted, and the conjunctiva is closed, often with dissolvable stitches. [2, 3]</li>

<h3>Why Preserflo Might Be Preferred</h3>
<div class="comparison-grid mt-4">
<div>
<h4 class="text-sky-700">Preserflo MicroShunt</h4>
<ul>
<li>Standardized device & procedure [1, 22]</li>
<li>Less invasive surgical technique [19, 23, 26]</li>
<li>Significantly lower risk of hypotony [5, 25, 28, 29]</li>
<li>Potentially fewer complications overall [5, 13, 26]</li>

</div>
<div>
<h4 class="text-sky-700">Trabeculectomy</h4>
<ul>
<li>Long-established "gold standard" [12, 23]</li>
<li>Requires manual scleral flap creation [14, 22]</li>
<li>Higher incidence of early hypotony [25, 28, 29]</li>
<li>Can have more early/late complications [5]</li>
<li>Often needs more intensive post-op management [12, 23, 25]</li>
<li>May achieve slightly lower IOP in some studies [14, 22, 29]</li>
<li>More anterior bleb [15, 23]</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<p class="mt-6 text-center">Preserflo offers a balance of effective IOP control with an improved safety profile and potentially simpler recovery, making it an attractive alternative, especially where hypotony is a concern. [12, 19, 22, 25, 29]</p>

<section class="slide-background-content">
<h2>Safety & Important Considerations</h2>
<div class="slide-content">
<div class="text-content">
<h3>Potential Risks</h3>
<p>While designed for safety, potential surgical risks include:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>IOP Fluctuations:</strong> Pressure may become too low (hypotony, often transient) or remain too high (hypertension), potentially requiring management. [1, 2, 3, 9, 13, 20, 21, 28]</li>
<li><strong>Bleeding (Hyphema):</strong> Usually minimal and resolves spontaneously; severe bleeding is rare. [2, 7, 9, 21]</li>
<li><strong>Infection (Endophthalmitis):</strong> A rare but serious lifelong risk associated with filtering blebs. [2, 3, 9, 13]</li>
<li><strong>Need for Re-intervention:</strong> Scarring or blockage may necessitate procedures like bleb needling or surgical revision. [1, 2, 3, 16, 20, 28, 29]</li>
<li><strong>Other Potential Issues:</strong> Transient blurred vision, shallow anterior chamber, choroidal effusion/detachment, cataract progression, rare shunt exposure or migration. [1, 2, 3, 9, 20]</li>
</ul>
<p>Regular post-operative monitoring is crucial for optimal outcomes. [2, 3, 5]</p>
