Description: GKOS Glaukos

Glaukos Corporation (NYSE: GKOS) is an ophthalmic medical technology and pharmaceutical company specializing in treatments for glaucoma, corneal disorders, and retinal diseases. Its core product portfolio includes the iStent series of micro-bypass stents and the iDose TR procedural pharmaceutical therapy, both designed to manage intraocular pressure. The company also develops the iLink cross-linking system for keratoconus and the ILution platform for transdermal drug delivery.
