Description: GKOS Glaukos November 06, 2025
Glaukos Corp (NYSE:GKOS) is an ophthalmic-focused pharma-tech firm that markets micro-invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices-including the iStent family, iStent infinite, iDose TR, iAccess blade, and iPRIME viscoelastic system-as well as pipeline platforms for keratoconus (iLink), drop-free drug delivery (ILution), and posterior-segment diseases (retinal XR). Its products are sold to ambulatory surgery centers, hospitals, and private practices via a mix of direct sales teams, subsidiaries, and distributors. The company, originally incorporated as Transdx in 1998, is headquartered in Aliso Viejo, California.
Key metrics (FY 2023): revenue of $374 million, representing a 12 % YoY increase driven primarily by a 28 % rise in iStent infinite sales; operating margin of 14 %; and a cash position of $210 million, giving a runway of roughly 18 months at current burn. The MIGS market is expanding at an estimated CAGR of 9 % through 2028, propelled by an aging U.S. population (≈ 12 % of adults ≥ 65 y) and growing physician adoption of minimally invasive procedures to meet Medicare Part B reimbursement incentives. A potential headwind is the tightening of reimbursement rates for device-based therapies, which could compress margins if adoption slows.
