Glaukos Corporation

Glaukos makes medical devices and drugs used by eye doctors to treat glaucoma, a disease that damages the optic nerve and can cause blindness if untreated. Their main products are tiny stents that doctors implant during eye surgery to help fluid drain from the eye and reduce pressure inside it. The company also develops medications and devices to treat other eye conditions like corneal scarring and age-related macular degeneration, which causes vision loss in older people. They sell to hospitals, surgery centers, and eye doctor offices.
