Microinvasive glaucoma surgery: a review and classification of implant-dependent procedures and techniques. [PDF]
Acta Ophthalmol, 2022 AbstractThe aim of this article is to discuss how physiology and anatomical background affect the effectiveness of implant‐dependent microinvasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). First, we provide a micro view of aqueous outflow and tissue behaviour. Second, we review studies exploring the mechanisms of the pressure‐lowering effect of MIGS, as well as tissue ...

An Alternate Technique for Goniotomy: Description of Procedure and Preliminary Results [PDF]
Journal of Ophthalmic & Vision Research, 2022 Purpose: Multiple glaucoma treatment modalities seek to lower IOP by bypassing or removing a portion of the juxtacanalicular trabecular meshwork. These procedures often require expensive implants or specialized surgical instruments. The authors developed

American Glaucoma Society Position Paper: Microinvasive Glaucoma Surgery. [PDF]
Ophthalmol Glaucoma, 2020 In 2018, the American Glaucoma Society (AGS), the world’s largest professional society of glaucoma subspecialists, convened a 12-member task force of experts to craft a position statement about microinvasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). The main objective of this position statement is to provide a succinct overview of these procedures and to address some ...

Microinvasive Glaucoma Surgery: A Review of Schlemm's Canal-Based Procedures. [PDF]
Clin Ophthalmol, 2021 Microinvasive glaucoma surgery has gained popularity over the past decade. It can be performed using three different mechanisms. In the present review, we focused on Schlemm's canal (SC)-based surgery, which increases aqueous humor (AH) outflow into the aqueous veins by either removal of the trabecular meshwork (TM) or an increase in the tension in the

Microinvasive Glaucoma Surgery: An Evidence-Based Assessment. [PDF]
Expert Rev Ophthalmol, 2017 The advent of Microinvasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) offers a novel approach in the treatment of glaucoma with the number of procedures developing at an exciting pace.MIGS procedures aim to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) via four mechanisms: (1) increasing trabecular outflow, (2) increasing outflow via suprachoroidal shunts, (3) reducing aqueous ...
