Glaucoma is known as the “silent thief of sight” — often progressing without noticeable symptoms until permanent vision loss occurs. That’s why early intervention matters.
MIGS (Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery) offers a safer, less invasive alternative to traditional procedures. These tiny devices help lower eye pressure and can reduce or even eliminate the need for daily eye drops.
If you're looking for a gentler surgical option with a faster recovery time, MIGS could be the right solution.
Schedule a consultation with our glaucoma specialists to explore your options.
