About MIGS Glaucoma Treatment
MIGS stands for Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery and is an advanced set of treatment procedures that can help us control difficult cases of glaucoma. The most common type of glaucoma-called Primary Open Angle Glaucoma is typically treated with eye drops or an in office laser treatment as the first option. In the past, if the disease progressed to moderate or advanced stage or wasn’t well controlled, ophthalmologists would perform an invasive surgical procedure called Trabeculectomy. Today, we are fortunate to have options called Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery, or MIGS which offers a new option for patients with mild to moderate glaucoma, filling a gap between medication and more invasive Trabeculectomy procedures. MIGS is less invasive with quicker recovery times, has fewer complications and is also safer than Trabeculectomy.
If you or someone you know is over 40, or has other glaucoma risk factors such as family history or being of African-American or Hispanic heritage, please be sure to have annual eye exams with glaucoma testing as glaucoma vision loss can be prevented with early detection and treatment.
