Microinvasive Glaucoma Surgery: An Evidence-Based Review
Faith A. Birnbaum, Cameron Neeson, David Solá-Del Valle
Abstract
PURPOSE: . METHODS: We present key recent studies evaluating the efficacy and safety of MIGS in various types of glaucoma patients with different stages of disease. CONCLUSION: We conclude that MIGS is generally safe and efficacious, although only some MIGS have been studied through randomized clinical trials. When comparing and contrasting the different MIGS procedures, large prospective studies are not yet the norm. High-quality large prospective studies involving MIGS will be an important next step as ophthalmologists decide how to incorporate MIGS into their surgical armamentarium.
