Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) encompasses a range of procedures that aim to lower intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients with less risk, minimal tissue disruption, and faster recovery times compared to traditional glaucoma surgeries. MIGS procedures are often performed using small incisions and microscopic devices to improve fluid drainage from the eye or reduce fluid production.
These techniques can be combined with cataract surgery for enhanced outcomes in patients with both conditions. MIGS is typically recommended for patients with mild to moderate glaucoma who have not responded well to medication or laser therapy.
MIGS procedures provide effective glaucoma management with fewer complications, faster recovery, and a more comfortable post-operative experience.
