Abstract

Glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness globally, necessitates effective management strategies to prevent irreversible vision loss. Traditional glaucoma surgeries, while effective, are associated with significant risks and complications. Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) has emerged as a transformative approach, offering safer and less invasive alternatives. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in MIGS, highlighting current trends, technological innovations, and future directions. MIGS procedures, characterized by smaller incisions and quicker recovery times, have expanded the therapeutic landscape, enabling earlier intervention and improved patient outcomes. The review evaluates various MIGS techniques, their efficacy, safety profiles, and clinical outcomes, drawing insights from comparative studies and meta-analyses. Technological innovations, including enhanced device designs and integration with digital health technologies, have further bolstered the field. Despite challenges in patient selection and long-term outcomes, the future of MIGS is promising, with ongoing research and development poised to enhance its impact. By synthesizing the latest research, this review aims to inform clinicians, researchers, and policymakers, ultimately contributing to improved management of glaucoma and patient care.
