Considering minimally invasive glaucoma surgery alongside cataract surgery should be the standard of care for cataract surgeons, according to a presenter at the American Glaucoma Society meeting.
“The point is not that we necessarily should offer MIGS for every patient with glaucoma undergoing cataract surgery, but it really should be considered in the context of the patient’s individual situation,” Ian Conner, MD, PhD, said.
According to Conner, the primary goals when performing MIGS with cataract surgery are to better control IOP and reduce medication burden.
