    In this presentation, Dr. Sarah Van Tassel offers 5 pearls for successful phacoemulsification in patients with mild to moderate glaucoma:

    • Stage the glaucoma to guide the surgical plan and intraocular lens selection.
    • Discuss microinvasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) as an option, if appropriate.
    • Pick a MIGS that gives you confidence.
    • Be prepared for intraoperative and postoperative challenges.
    • Reevaluate eyedrops with a focus on target intraocular pressure after surgery.
