Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery
Definition
Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) is a group of surgical procedures aimed at lowering intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma. These procedures are less invasive than traditional glaucoma surgeries, resulting in fewer complications and faster recovery times. MIGS typically involves the use of microscopic-sized equipment and tiny incisions to improve the drainage of aqueous humor from the eye, thereby reducing pressure and preventing optic nerve damage.
