My Tips to Increase the Efficacy of MIGS Procedures in Our Current Tool Box

Dr. Anand Mantravadi provides tips on increasing the efficacy of MIGS in his presentation during AGS 2017.

Intraoperatively, physicians should consider their own comfort levels with identifying the appropriate structures. Intrasurgical imaging, which is a growing technique, could also improve the efficacy of MIGS. Postoperatively, the use of medications could prove complementary to surgery.
