To evaluate early outcomes of five minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries when combined with cataract extraction in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma.
Conducted a comparative study of five MIGS techniques
Included Indian patients with varying severities of primary open-angle glaucoma
Assessed intraocular pressure (IOP) and medication usage before and after the procedures
MIGS combined with cataract surgery effectively reduced IOP
All procedures demonstrated safety and efficacy across different POAG severities
Variations in procedure choice were linked to patient-specific factors like cost and device availability

Implication

Comparative study assesses early outcomes of MIGS with cataract surgery in Indian patients, indicating effective IOP reduction.

Abstract

In real-world clinical practice, MIGS combined with cataract surgery offers a safe and effective option for IOP and medication reduction across a range of POAG severities. Procedure selection is influenced by patient-specific factors, including cost and device availability, underscoring the importance of individualized care in resource-variable settings.
