Minimal Invasive Glaucoma Surgery

Minimal Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) is a modern procedure designed to lower eye pressure safely and effectively in patients with glaucoma. Unlike traditional glaucoma surgeries, MIGS involves tiny incisions and minimal tissue disruption, reducing recovery time and risks while helping preserve vision. This procedure is ideal for patients whose glaucoma is not fully controlled with medications or who wish to combine it with cataract surgery.

Symptoms Indicating the Need for Glaucoma Surgery

Glaucoma often develops quietly, but patients may experience subtle signs such as gradual loss of peripheral (side) vision, blurred vision, eye discomfort, headaches, or halos around lights. Early detection and timely treatment are crucial to prevent permanent vision loss.

Types of MIGS

MIGS includes a variety of procedures tailored to the patient’s condition and eye anatomy. Common types focus on improving fluid drainage from the eye to reduce intraocular pressure. These procedures are generally safer and less invasive than conventional glaucoma surgeries and are often combined with cataract removal for enhanced outcomes.

Treatment and Surgical Process

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, using advanced microscopic and laser-assisted techniques. Tiny devices or implants are placed within the eye’s drainage pathways to improve fluid outflow and lower eye pressure. The surgery is quick, usually outpatient, and allows most patients to resume normal activities within a few days. Follow-up visits ensure proper healing and monitoring of intraocular pressure.
