The Best Migs Procedure for Your Glaucoma Patient
نویسنده
چکیده
BY MARK J. GALLARDO, MD Microinvasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS) are less invasive, are more convenient, and have a better safety profile than traditional filtering glaucoma surgery. Current options give surgeons a growing number of ways to lower IOP and/or to reduce medication burden. Understanding the strengths of each approach and matching these to the needs of the patient are vital to attaining the best outcomes for patients.

An Update on Implants for Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS)
For several years, the gold standard for surgical treatment of glaucoma has been trabeculectomy. Although very successful at reducing intraocular pressure (IOP), there are several potential complications of trabeculectomy, including sight-threatening ones. This has stimulated much research aimed at the development of new and effective procedures to lower IOP with an enhanced safety profile. Min...
