Ep. 12 - MIGS Complications w/ Dr. Jessica Schiffbauer

(COPE ID 97822-GL, 0.5 hr CE)

Dr. Jessica Schiffbauer discusses the management of complications associated with minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MiGs). MiGs, which include procedures like SLT, iStent, and the Zen gel stent, are minimally invasive, have a high safety profile, and require less follow-up compared to more invasive glaucoma surgeries.

Complications such as inflammation, IOP fluctuations, and blood reflux are common, especially in patients with a history of uveitis or chronic inflammation. Management involves using antibiotics, NSAIDs, and steroids, and in some cases, pilocarpine or digital pressure. Effective communication with glaucoma specialists is crucial for successful outcomes.
