Sight Sciences (NASDAQ: SGHT) has published a landmark 36-month study demonstrating the long-term effectiveness of its OMNI® Surgical System in managing primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). The study, published in the American Journal of Ophthalmology, analyzed real-world data from 230 eyes of 196 patients through the American Academy of Ophthalmology IRIS® Registry.
Key findings show significant and sustained reductions in intraocular pressure (IOP) over 36 months, with mean reductions ranging from 5.6 to 7.1 mmHg.
