Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS)

With an ever-growing field of glaucoma surgery, countless options are now available to surgeons to help better control the single most important risk factor to glaucoma progression: intraocular pressure (IOP). Microinvasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) aims at achieving IOP reduction in a safer, more predictable and physiologic manner compared to traditional glaucoma surgery. MIGS can either target Schlemm's canal, the suprachoroidal space or completely bypass the outflow system and drain subconjunctival. This chapter will review many of the current MIGS options and provide information about device specifications, implantation techniques, complications, and current literature review.
