MIGS represents a new generation of glaucoma procedures designed to lower intraocular pressure through tiny micro-scale instruments with far less trauma than traditional surgery. Most MIGS procedures are performed at the same time as cataract surgery, making them an efficient two-in-one solution.
What Is MIGS (Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery)?
MIGS devices work by improving aqueous outflow through or around the trabecular meshwork. Examples include the iStent, Hydrus microstent, and goniotomy. They require a small incision, leave minimal scar tissue, and carry a much lower risk profile than trabeculectomy or tube surgery.
Who Is It For?
This procedure is generally suited to patients meeting the following criteria:
- Mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma undergoing cataract surgery
- Patients seeking to reduce their glaucoma drop burden
- Those who are not ready for or do not need full filtration surgery
What Happens During the Procedure?
Each step is performed with precision and patient comfort in mind.
- Step 1: Typically performed at the end of cataract surgery through the same incisions
- Step 2: A micro-device is inserted into the drainage angle under gonioscopic guidance
- Step 3: No additional incisions or sutures required
Recovery & What to Expect
Recovery follows the cataract surgery timeline — most patients see improvement within 24–48 hours. Pressure response to the MIGS device is assessed at the first post-operative visit.
Benefits
Patients choosing this procedure typically experience the following benefits:
- Minimal additional surgical time when combined with cataract surgery
- Lower risk profile than traditional glaucoma surgery
- Can meaningfully reduce drop dependency
- Leaves the door open for more aggressive surgery if needed later
