Abstract
The advent of minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) has broadened the therapeutic options for managing glaucoma. In recent years, MIGS procedures targeting the trabecular meshwork-Schlemm's canal aqueous outflow resistance site have garnered significant attention. This focus has extended to the pathophysiological changes occurring within the aqueous outflow pathway. However, questions persist regarding the efficacy of near-peripheral or peripheral trabeculotomy in achieving the anticipated reduction of outflow resistance and the suitability of MIGS surgery for patients with primary open-angle glaucoma. By integrating clinical experience with pertinent clinical research, this paper advocates for a reevaluation of MIGS procedures to aid clinicians in making informed decisions regarding various glaucoma surgical interventions.
