The Glaucoma Foundation (TGF) is one of the leading not-for-profits in the world dedicated to the study of glaucoma and the search for its cure. Attracting scientists from other specialties in ophthalmology and in all areas of biosciences, nanotechnology, and AI into glaucoma research, the Foundation has significantly expanded the number of people working in the field and continues to bring new insights and approaches to understanding and treatment. Through the generous contributions of individuals, institutions, corporations, and foundations, TGF identifies and promotes substantive research and provides information, education, and support for glaucoma patients and caregivers.

2025“I was having my eyes examined and the doctor thought my eye pressure seemed a little high. He brought me to see Dr. Harmon, who told me that I had glaucoma. I didn’t know it. I had no symptoms. I could have lost my sight. It could have been stolen away without the slightest indication it was on its way out.”Kitty Carlisle Hartfrom her forward to Dr. Gregory Harmon’s book, “What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Glaucoma.”GalaTHE KITTY CARLISLE HART AWARD OF MERIT FOR LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT

Not an actual patient.BRIDGE THE GAPFOR REFRACTORY GLAUCOMAWITH MINIMALLY INVASIVE FILTERING SURGERY CONSIDER XEN® FOR THE NEXT STOP ON YOUR PATIENT’S TREATMENT JOURNEY. XEN® Gel Stent is a proven pathway to IOP control for refractory glaucoma patients.1 • From a wide range of baseline pressures,* XEN® Gel Stent achieved a mean IOP of15.9 (± 5.2) mm Hg through 12 months (n = 52)1, 2 • 76% of XEN® Gel Stent patients achieved a ≥ 20% IOP reduction in the ITT group(N = 65)1• 81% of XEN® Gel Stent patients achieved a ≥ 25% IOP reduction among thosecompleting the 12-month visit (n = 52)2• Pivotal safety data included 0% intraoperative complications (0/65) and 0%persistent hypotony (0/65); transient hypotony† occurred in 24.6% of patients (16/65)1IOP = intraocular pressure; ITT = intent to treat. * In the XEN® Gel Stent clinical study, baseline medicated IOP ranged from 20.0 to 33.7 mm Hg.2 † No clinically significant consequences were associated with hypotony, such as choroidal effusions, suprachoroidal hemorrhage, or hypotony maculopathy. IOP < 6 mm Hg was defined as an adverse event, regardless of whether there were any associated complications or sequelae related to the low pressure. Thirteen cases occurred at the 1-day visit; there were no cases of persistent hypotony, and no surgical intervention was required for any case of hypotony.1INDICATIONS The XEN® Glaucoma Treatment System (XEN® 45 Gel Stent preloaded into a XEN® Injector) is indicated for the management of refractory glaucomas, including cases where previous surgical treatment has failed, cases of primary open-angle glaucoma, and pseudoexfoliative or pigmentary glaucoma with open angles that are unresponsive to maximum tolerated medical therapy.IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION CONTRAINDICATIONS XEN® Gel Stent is contraindicated in angle-closure glaucoma where angle has not been surgically opened, previous glaucoma shunt/valve or conjunctival scarring/pathologies in the target quadrant, active inflammation, active iris neovascularization, anterior chamber intraocular lens, intraocular silicone oil, and vitreous in the anterior chamber.WARNINGS XEN® Gel Stent complications may include choroidal effusion, hyphema, hypotony, implant migration, implant exposure, wound leak, need for secondary surgical intervention, and intraocular surgery complications. Safety and effectiveness in neovascular, congenital, and infantile glaucoma has not been established. Avoid digital pressure following implantation of the XEN® Gel Stent to avoid the potential for implant damage.PRECAUTIONS Examine the XEN® Gel Stent and XEN® Injector in the operating room prior to use. Monitor intraocular pressure (IOP) postoperatively and if not adequately maintained, manage appropriately. Stop the procedure immediately if increased resistance is observed during implantation and use a new XEN® system. Safety and effectiveness of more than a single implanted XEN® Gel Stent has not been studied.ADVERSE EVENTS The most common postoperative adverse events included best- corrected visual acuity loss of ≥ 2 lines (≤ 30 days 15.4%; > 30 days 10.8%; 12 months 6.2%), hypotony IOP < 6 mm Hg at any time (24.6%; no clinically significant consequences were associated, no cases of persistent hypotony, and no surgical intervention was required), IOP increase ≥ 10 mm Hg from baseline (21.5%), and needling procedure (32.3%).
