Abstract
In this review, we aimed to provide, in a structured format, an evidenced based review of the current state of minimally invasive surgical glaucoma management. Numerous studies, mostly non-comparative, have demonstrated several new, safe, effective, and minimally invasive surgeries for the management of various stages of open-angle glaucomas. These surgeries can either be combined with cataract surgery or performed in isolation of cataract surgery. Most of the newer minimally invasive procedures ensure safety with a mild to moderate intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering effect. Two novel shunts, the InnFocus MicroShunt and XEN45, however, can provide substantial IOP reduction in a relatively safe fashion. The future of glaucoma surgery is very bright, and there continue to be several safe, effective, and novel procedures for the management of various types of glaucomas.
