Abstract
With sophisticated diagnostic modalities used in glaucoma now-a-days, the demand for more accurate and precise intraocular pressure control is also rising. Glaucoma has seen myriad of treatment modalities including medical, laser and surgical. This article focuses on the newer glaucoma surgeries, viz-a-viz microinvasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS) that has seen immense experimental and clinical research with favourable results. MIGS works via various mechanisms, by-passing trabecular meshwork by implanting a stent or excising the trabecular tissue, enhancing aqueous outflow through Schlemm’s canal or suprachoroidal space, and shunting the aqueous to the subconjunctival space. In this article we describe each of these procedures with the results on their efficacy and safety.
