What Does Interventional Glaucoma Mean To You?
The IG mindset can include straightforward decision- making, such as offering SLT over eye drops as an initial treatment for glaucoma (an option supported by the LiGHT study).

These minimally invasive procedures allow aqueous humor to bypass the trabecular meshwork or direct aqueous humor into the suprachoroi- dal or subconjunctival spaces.
