Abstract

This video showcases step by step demonstration to approaching a trabectome

surgery. MIGS has attracted a lot of attention of late due to the freedom from

medications and a respectable control of intraocular pressure. It can be practiced in

mild to moderate open angle glaucoma. This video demonstrates highly useful tips

and tricks for young ophthalmologists and practitioners who are looking to upgrade

their skills by venturing into newer surgical modalities. Positioning of the patient,

working and settings of the machine, gonio lenses required, aligning the lens with

respect to the eye, holding and movement of the probe, surgical challenges, possible

complications, how to avoid them and the post-operative management are some of

the aspects that need expert guidance and will be touched upon. Through this video,

I am hoping to encourage glaucoma practitioners to start trabectome surgery as

although it has a learning curve, is not an unsurmountable task.
