Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible vision loss, often progressing silently. Early detection and effective treatment are essential to preserving sight. Among the latest advancements in eye care, Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) has emerged as a safe, effective, and patient-friendly option.

At London Ophthalmology Centre (LondonOC), MIGS is performed by Consultant Ophthalmologist Mr. Vik Sharma, a leading glaucoma specialist in London. Unlike traditional glaucoma surgery, MIGS involves smaller incisions, minimal disruption to eye tissue, and quicker recovery times, making it an increasingly popular choice for patients.

MIGS procedures work by improving the natural drainage of fluid within the eye, thereby lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) — the primary factor in glaucoma progression. Some of the devices and techniques used at LondonOC include the MINIject® implant, XEN Gel Stent, and the OMNI™ Surgical System, each tailored to a patient’s specific condition.

The benefits of MIGS are clear:

• Minimally invasive with reduced tissue trauma
• Faster recovery compared to traditional surgery
• Lower risk of complications
• Effective long-term IOP control

MIGS is suitable for patients with early to moderate glaucoma, and in some cases, it can be combined with cataract surgery for added efficiency.
