5 Key Takeaways

• 1

  Standalone MIGS procedures are increasingly used for both phakic and pseudophakic patients, expanding treatment options for glaucoma.

• 2

  Cataract surgery alone may not adequately lower IOP in glaucoma patients, especially those with previous MIGS, necessitating additional interventions.

• 3

  Surgeons should consider the nature of prior MIGS and current IOP status when planning cataract surgery to optimize outcomes.

• 4

  Endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation and suprachoroidal MIGS are emerging as valuable options for patients with limited treatment alternatives.

• 5

  Combining cataract surgery with sustained drug delivery implants can help manage IOP and reduce the burden of postoperative medications.
