Abstract

MINIMALLY INVASIVE GLAUCOMA SURGERY OR MIGS INCLUDE SEVERAL PROCEDURES AND DEVICES THAT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE SEVERAL NEWER OPTIONS IN THE MANAGEMENT OF GLAUCOMA, NOT JUST WHEN THE DISEASE IS VERY ADVANCED. THESE HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED IN THE LAST TWO DECADES BUT ITS AVAILABILITY AND UPTAKE IN INDIA HAS BEEN RATHER SLOW. THESE PROCEDURES AND DEVICES CAN NOT ONLY BE USED STANDALONE BUT ALSO ALONG WITH CATARACT SURGERY IN MILD TO MODERATE GLAUCOMA. MOST NEED AN OPEN ANGLE FOR EXECUTION AND CAN BE EMPLOYED IN ANGLE CLOSURE DISEASE ONLY IF THE ANGLE OPENS AFTER LASER PERIPHERAL IRIDOTOMY. HOWEVER, THERE IS ONE PROCEDURE THAT CAN BE DONE IRRESPECTIVE OF ANGLE STATUS AND CAN ALSO BE USEFUL IN ACUTE OR RECURRENT ANGLE CLOSURE ALSO. EACH SPEAKER WILL HIGHLIGHT THE INDIVIDUAL PROCEDURES WITH VIDEOS AND INDIVIDUALIZED TREATMENT ALGORITHMS WILL BE DISCUSSED THROUGH PANEL DISCUSSION & AUDIENCE INTERACTION (25 MINS), KEEPING IN MIND THE SEVERITY OF THE DISEASE AND PATIENT’S QUALITY OF LIFE.
