Welcome to MIGS Made Clear, where we break down micro-invasive glaucoma surgery into bite-sized chunks so you can walk away with a much greater understanding and feeling more MIGS confident.

In this video, Dr. Constance Okeke dives into the fundamentals of trabecular bypass stents: the iStent family and Hydrus micro stent. She provides a detailed breakdown of how they work to improve aqueous outflow by targeting the trabecular meshwork. She highlights the specific devices used for these procedures, including their mechanisms of action, indications, and key benefits. Whether you're new to MIGS or looking to refine your approach, this video offers practical insights for managing glaucoma through precise and minimally invasive techniques.
