The bimatoprost intracameral implant (Durysta) offers a sustained-release approach to glaucoma management, providing consistent intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction over several months and reducing the need for daily topical therapies. This review evaluates its pharmacology, efficacy, and safety, using data from pivotal clinical trials and recent real-world studies. The implant achieves IOP reductions comparable to topical prostaglandin analogs, with benefits for patient adherence and fewer common side effects. However, repeat administrations are associated with adverse effects such as endothelial cell loss, highlighting the need for optimized re-dosing schedules. Future research should explore its use in advanced glaucomas, cost-effectiveness, and combination with other IOP-lowering treatments. The bimatoprost intracameral implant represents a promising innovation in glaucoma therapy with potential for improved patient outcomes.
