Description

In this 10-minute Master Class, we break down a practical, stepwise approach to glaucoma surgery, from knowing when it’s time to intervene to managing expectations after MIGS. We’ll cover how to think through surgical decision-making beyond drops, why SLT is often the right first step, and how to choose among MIGS options based on efficacy, safety, and preserving future options, not insurance-driven algorithms. You’ll also get a clear framework for managing patients after minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, including: How to anticipate and manage early IOP spikes When and how to safely taper glaucoma medications Setting expectations around hyphema and visual recovery Why MIGS outcomes often aren’t clear until 3 months post-op The importance of post-operative gonioscopy for long-term success A concise, real-world Master Class designed to help you make confident surgical decisions and guide glaucoma patients through the post-op period with clarity.
