張秀蘭 Xiulan ZhangChina Speaker How MIGS change the landscape of angle-closure glaucoma surgeryThis presentation aims to showcase the efficacy and safety of "minimally invasive" cataract-glaucoma and glaucoma surgeries in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG). Surgical videos and robust clinical evidence, including several multi-center studies conducted over the past five years, will be presented. Furthermore, recognition and evaluation from international experts, particularly within the Asia-Pacific region, will be summarized. These findings indicate an emerging trend toward cataract-glaucoma surgeries gradually replacing traditional phacotrabeculectomy procedures, and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery increasingly substituting trabeculectomy. Beyond introducing innovative surgical techniques, the presentation will also provide insights into effective clinical research design, innovation development, and strategies for successful translation into clinical practice.
