New-Generation MIGS: Which MIGS for Which Patient? (Archived CME Case Library)

This educational activity has expired. You will not be able to claim credit for this activity.

Program Overview

Patients on maximum medical therapy for glaucoma and their physicians are often challenged to select efficacious and safe treatment options that can further lower intraocular pressure while reducing the burden of topical therapy. Several recent advances in the field of glaucoma are capable of meeting these needs, including minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) procedures. Both the array of MIGS options and the literature supporting their use are expanding. In this activity, based on a series of live virtual meetings, experts in glaucoma share their experiences with various MIGS procedures and devices and discuss patient selection, comparison of MIGS procedures and devices, and optimization techniques. The desired results of this educational activity are to prepare clinicians to confidently incorporate MIGS into their surgical repertoire and develop the ability to select the best MIGS procedure and device according to individual patient needs and desires.

Target Audience

This educational activity is intended for glaucoma specialists and other ophthalmologists.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be better able to:

  • Apply evidence to select appropriate subconjunctival MIGS procedures for a variety of patients
