Excerpt from the Press Release:

MENLO PARK, Calif., Aug. 23, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sight Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: SGHT), an eyecare technology company focused on developing and commercializing innovative solutions intended to transform care and improve patients’ lives, today announced the launch of SION, a surgical instrument representing a new chapter in goniotomy innovation and practice. Sight Sciences is a leader in minimally invasive approaches to prevalent eye diseases, and SION is an exciting new addition to the company’s portfolio.

The SION Surgical Instrument is a manually operated device used in ophthalmic surgical procedures to excise trabecular meshwork. SION’s bladeless design, micro-engineered and precision manufactured using specialized lasers, excises tissue without cutting. Instead, SION grasps and removes diseased tissue as the surgeon sweeps the instrument around Schlemm’s canal with a single smooth motion.

“Goniotomy is an essential procedure in my glaucoma practice,” said Amir Cohen, MD, MBA, Founder of The Glaucoma Care Center of New Jersey. “As one of the new SION users, I was able to excise and remove several clock hours of diseased trabecular meshwork tissue.”

“I was surprised and impressed at how smooth SION made the goniotomy procedure,” said Arkadiy Yadgarov, MD of Omni Eye Services of Atlanta. “The bladeless design helped the SION tip navigate along Schlemm’s canal without getting stuck into the scleral back wall.”
