According to an FDA Safety Communication and an FDA Class 1 Recall, you could be at risk for serious eye damage if you had the CyPass Micro-Stent implanted after glaucoma surgery. The eye stent was voluntary recalled on August 28, 2018, by the manufacturer, Alcon Research LTD.
Potential complications and injuries associated with the CyPass eye stent include:
- Epithelial cell loss
- General eye damage
- Loss of vision
- Blindness

If you experience any complications or unexplained symptoms after having the CyPass Micro-stent implanted, contact your physician immediately.

The FDA also advises consumers to report harmful reactions through its MedWatch Reporting System. You should also contact our CyPass Micro-stent attorney for a free consultation to discuss your legal options for recovering compensation for injuries and damages related to the CyPass eye stent.
