5 Key Takeaways

• 1

  Minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS) effectively lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in Black patients with advanced glaucoma.

• 2

  A study analyzed IRIS registry data from over 18,000 eyes, primarily focusing on patients who had cataract surgery.

• 3

  Among MIGS procedures, the Omni device required fewer medications at 36 months compared to Hydrus and iStent inject.

• 4

  Cataract surgery alone in glaucoma patients led to elevated IOP over time, highlighting missed treatment opportunities.

• 5

  MIGS should be considered for all patients, including African-American individuals undergoing cataract surgery.
