DURYSTA™ (bimatoprost implant) is a prostaglandin analog indicated for the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT).
It is believed to lower IOP in humans by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor through both the trabecular meshwork (conventional) and uveoscleral routes (unconventional). DURYSTA™ is preloaded into a single-use, DDS applicator to facilitate injection of the rod-shaped implant directly into the anterior chamber of the eye.
The most common ocular adverse reaction in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT) is conjunctival hyperemia. Other common ocular adverse reactions include foreign body sensation, eye pain, photophobia, conjunctival hemorrhage, dry eye, eye irritation, increased intraocular pressure, corneal endothelial cell loss, blurring of vision, and iritis.
Ophthalmic bimatoprost, including intracameral implant, has been reported to cause changes to pigmented tissues, such as increased pigmentation of the iris, which is likely to be permanent. The pigmentation change is due to increased melanin content in the melanocytes.
DURYSTA™ is contraindicated in patients with: active or suspected ocular or periocular infections; corneal endothelial cell dystrophy; prior corneal transplantation or endothelial cell transplants; absent or ruptured posterior lens capsule, due to the risk of implant migration into the posterior segment; hypersensitivity to bimatoprost or any other components of the product.

The most practical gifts are preservative-free artificial tears, wraparound sunglasses, audiobooks or a podcast subscription, meal delivery, button-front or zip-front pajamas, a warm eye compress mask, and a drop or medication organizer. Offering your time for rides, errands, or company is also one of the most appreciated gifts of all.
Avoid heavily fragranced flowers, gifts that require lifting or assembly, eyedrops that are not preservative-free, and fitness or exercise-related gifts. These either pose a physical risk during recovery or aren't appropriate until the patient is cleared for full activity.
Most patients return to normal daily activities within a few days to a week. Restrictions on bending, lifting, and swimming typically ease within two to four weeks, and most patients are fully back to normal routines by the one-month mark.
Raising the arms overhead to pull on or remove a shirt can accidentally bump or put pressure on the operated eye during early recovery. Button-down or zip-front tops are a safer, more comfortable choice for the first week.
Screen time is generally recommended to be limited for the first one to three days after surgery, as it can cause eye strain during early healing. Audiobooks and podcasts are a great alternative during this period.
