Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS): XEN implant
Main Article Content
Abstract
Despite all the advances in medicine, still the only proven way of glaucoma treatment is lowering intraocular pressure. Among therapeutic options, filtration surgery is one of the most effective procedures, but its safety profile is quite low. Today, minimally invasive techniques give hope that achieving the target intraocular pressure with less surgical complications is possible. XEN® implant proves to be effective in lowering intraocular pressure with high safety profile of the implantation procedure.
