Surgeons explore suprachoroidal space as alternative aqueous outflow target
Microinvasive glaucoma surgery, an alternative to trabeculectomy and tube shunt implantation, is designed to improve aqueous outflow by using stents to direct aqueous humor into the uveoscleral pathway, subconjunctival space or suprachoroidal space.Ab interno MIGS with the Trabectome (NeoMedix) or the iStent (Glaukos) has been shown to reduce IOP without bleb-associated risks and is often performed in conjunction with cataract surgery.
