What Is MIGS?
Through the terrific innovations in glaucoma management techniques over the last decade, most patients with glaucoma diagnoses can take advantage of a whole new world of treatments for managing their disease. Most of these methods fall under the heading of MIGS, or minimally invasive glaucoma surgery.
At Sedalia Eye Associates, we are glad to provide MIGS treatments as well as various other advanced laser therapies for our Sedalia or Warsaw, MO patients. MIGS techniques are done with small incisions and state-of-the-art devices to ease internal eye pressure to avoid and/or slow further damage to the optical nerve. In addition, MIGS can be performed at almost all stages of the disease. This treatment typically has fewer complications than other techniques, and most researchers deem it safer than a trabeculectomy (traditional glaucoma surgery). Contact our Sedalia or Warsaw, MO office to schedule your MIGS evaluation.
