VIDEO: Avoid IOP ‘peaks and troughs’ by using stand-alone canal-based MIGS

NEW YORK — In this presentation from OSN New York, Manjool M. Shah, MD, discusses why stand-alone canal-based MIGS is an alternative to topical medications for glaucoma treatment.

According to Shah, even when patients adhere to topical therapy, there are still “peaks and troughs” of efficacy. Tools such as the iStent infinite (Glaukos) are FDA-approved options to improve IOP in a “small package.”

When deciding whether MIGS is the right fit for a patient, “we like to bring it back home to not only intraocular pressure but quality of life and the challenges with the other ways of doing things,” he said.
