Some news on the glaucoma front. As you may be aware glaucoma is the term given to high intraocular pres damaging the optic nerve and affecting the visual field. MIGS or micro incision glaucoma surgery is the 21st century answer to increased pressure in the eye.

The modern implant has fewer side effects and therefore more user friendly.
