OMNI technology enables the surgeon to perform an outflow restorative procedure to address the three known points of aqueous resistance associated with glaucoma (Schlemm\u2019s canal, collector channels, and trabecular meshwork). The procedure can be performed before, in combination with, or after cataract surgery.<\/p>\n<p><br class=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are pleased that Cigna\u2019s clinical review resulted in expanded coverage of certain non-implant, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (\u201cMIGS\u201d) procedures including canaloplasty and goniotomy for its patients,\u201d stated Paul Badawi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer. \u201cAs a result of this positive coverage policy, Cigna\u2019s members will have access to the OMNI outflow restorative procedure that addresses all three points of resistance when deemed medically necessary by their ophthalmologist. We believe Cigna\u2019s decision affirms the shift towards safer, less invasive, but more comprehensive surgical inventions, and cements the role that OMNI\u2019s technology serves within the glaucoma treatment paradigm for surgeons and patients.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><br class=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>Data evidencing the effectiveness and safety of OMNI have been published in 18 peer-reviewed publications, representing more than 630 patients to date, including two landmark multicenter studies, GEMINI and ROMEO. More recently real-world data leveraging the American Academy of Ophthalmology\u2019s IRIS<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Registry was presented at the 2023 American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery and the American Glaucoma Society Annual Meetings, where a 12-month sub-analysis of patients treated with OMNI Surgical System technology reported the greatest average reduction in IOP-lowering medication usage compared to implant-based MIGS procedures or cataract surgery alone.<\/p>\n<p><br class=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are pleased that Cigna has expanded coverage and increased patient access to more minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries,\u201d stated Elena Sturman, President and CEO of The Glaucoma Foundation, one of the nation\u2019s leading foundations dedicated to improving the lives of patients with glaucoma through innovation, research and collaboration. She continued, \u201cGlaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in the United States. Improving access to less invasive outflow restorative procedures (associated with OMNI technology) is an important addition for glaucoma patients.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><br class=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>Cigna Healthcare\u2019s updated Glaucoma Surgical Procedures policy can be found here: <br \/><a href=\"\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/06\/mm_0035_coveragepositioncriteria_viscocanolostomy.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.sightsciences.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/06\/mm_0035_coveragepositioncriteria_viscocanolostomy.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n<p><br class=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>About Sight Sciences<\/strong><br \/>Sight Sciences is an eyecare technology company focused on developing and commercializing innovative solutions intended to transform care and improve patients\u2019 lives.
