About MIGS (Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery)
MIGS (minimally invasive glaucoma surgery) uses tiny implants or micro-incisions to lower eye pressure with less risk than traditional glaucoma operations. It suits mild to moderate glaucoma, often combined with cataract surgery.
MIGS is a day case under local or topical anaesthesia. Using a microscope and a viewing lens of the eye's drainage angle, the surgeon works through a clear corneal incision of 2 mm or less. Depending on the device, it may stent the drainage channel, remove a strip of drainage tissue or create a small new outflow path under the conjunctiva.
Usually a good fit if
- Mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma needing fewer drops.
- Undergoing cataract surgery at the same time.
- Open drainage angle on gonioscopy.
- Target pressure in the mid-teens, not very low.
May need to wait if
- Advanced glaucoma needing very low pressure.
- Closed angles or neovascular glaucoma.
- Active inflammation or infection.
- Expecting to stop all treatment.
How to prepare
- Bring visual field results, OCT of the optic nerve and your pressure history.
- Review glaucoma drops with your doctor; do not stop them without instruction.
- Ask which MIGS device is planned and whether it suits your angle type.
- Undergo cataract measurements if combined surgery is planned.
- Arrange transport and early reviews.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- Which MIGS device suits my type of glaucoma?
- What pressure drop and drop reduction can I expect?
- Is a trabeculectomy likely to be needed in future?
- Is the procedure combined with cataract surgery?
- What are the specific risks, such as bleeding or device blockage?
- Who will measure pressure at home?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- MIGS offered for advanced glaucoma needing big pressure reduction.
- No gonioscopy or field test.
- Promising freedom from drops.
- Device model not documented.
