An 82-year-old man in Frinton became one of the first in Europe to undergo a new glaucoma treatment at Colchester Hospital, using a minimally invasive procedure combining iSTENT and MINT surgeries.
The operation, performed alongside cataract surgery, lowered eye pressure, eliminated the need for daily eyedrops, and required less than 30 minutes with recovery in two to three days.
