For years, glaucoma was robbing Josie Paige’s vision despite two surgeries to halt her rising eye pressure. In February 2025, Duke Health glaucoma specialist Leon Herndon, MD, inserted a device in her left eye that Duke-published research showed was more effective at reducing eye pressure than the standard of care.

I wouldn’t go anywhere else.”
