Jamshedpur, Jharkhand – March 27, 2026 – ASG Eye Hospitals, a leading chain of super-specialty eye care facilities, proudly announces a groundbreaking achievement in glaucoma treatment. Dr. Nitesh Singh, COO and Regional Director of ASG Eye Hospitals Jamshedpur, successfully performed the first-ever i-Stent Micro-Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) in the city of Jamshedpur.
This advanced procedure marks a significant step forward in providing cutting-edge, minimally invasive care for patients suffering from glaucoma, a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide.
The i-Stent (or iStent inject®) is a revolutionary trabecular micro-bypass device—the smallest medical implant used in the human body. Made of biocompatible titanium and heparin-coated for safety, it is implanted through a tiny incision (often during cataract surgery) to create a permanent pathway that enhances the eye’s natural fluid drainage. By bypassing blockages in the trabecular meshwork and restoring outflow to Schlemm’s canal, the procedure effectively lowers intraocular pressure (IOP) with a highly favorable safety profile.
Unlike traditional glaucoma surgeries, which can involve more extensive interventions and higher risks, MIGS with i-Stent offers:
- Minimal tissue disruption
- Rapid recovery
- Reduced dependence on glaucoma eye drops
- Excellent long-term outcomes supported by extensive clinical evidence and peer-reviewed studies
This achievement reflects our commitment to bringing world-class, innovative treatments to the people of Jamshedpur and surrounding regions,” said Dr. Nitesh Singh. “Glaucoma often progresses silently, but with procedures like i-Stent MIGS, we can now offer safer, more effective options to preserve vision and improve quality of life for our patients. We are proud to be the first in the city to introduce this gold-standard technology.”
ASG Eye Hospitals continues to prioritize patient-centric care, adopting the latest global advancements in eye health. This milestone underscores the hospital’s dedication to excellence and accessibility in specialized treatments.
