The OMNI® Surgical System is indicated for canaloplasty (microcatheterization and transluminal viscodilation of Schlemm's canal) followed by trabeculotomy (cutting of trabecular meshwork) to reduce intraocular pressure in adult patients with primary open-angle glaucoma.

The Sight Sciences OMNI Surgical System is a handheld, manually operated device used by ophthalmologists to access, microcatheterize, and viscodilate Schlemm's canal ("canaloplasty") and to re-access Schlemm's canal and cut trabecular meshwork tissue ("trabeculotomy"). The OMNI Surgical System is provided sterile and disposed after single-patient use. The device is fabricated from biocompatible materials standard to the medical device industry. Each OMNI device dispenses fluid on the principle of exchanging volumes much like a syringe and is designed to function with commercially available cohesive viscoelastic fluids (also known as ophthalmic viscosurgical device, or "OVD"). The OMNI device includes a stainless-steel cannula, polymeric microcatheter, removable priming lock, internal reservoir and plunger tube, a Luer fitting for direct connection with an OVD cartridge to prime the internal reservoir, and two advancement wheels. The stainless-steel cannula has a curved shape with a beveled tip for entry through the trabecular meshwork into Schlemm's canal. A single advancement wheel is located on each side of the handle. This allows the OMNI device to be used in either eye (OD or OS) and in either hand of the surgeon (left or right), by turning the device 180 degrees along its vertical axis. These wheels are used to advance and retract the microcatheter. To perform the combined and sequential canaloplasty/trabeculotomy procedures, the canaloplasty is performed first, followed by trabeculotomy as explained in further detail below.
