Advances in Contemporary Glaucoma Surgery: Innovations and Clinical Impact

Chan Yun KIMKorea (Republic of) Speaker Minimally Invasive Bleb Surgery (MIBS): Redefining Safety and Efficacy in Glaucoma SurgeryMinimally Invasive Bleb Surgery (MIBS) represents a significant advancement in glaucoma treatment, combining the efficacy of traditional filtering procedures with the safety and simplicity of minimally invasive techniques. Devices such as the XEN Gel Stent, PreserFlo MicroShunt, and A-stream enable subconjunctival outflow with less tissue disruption. This talk will review the core principles of MIBS, compare it with conventional surgery and MIGS, and highlight recent clinical outcomes. MIBS offers a promising surgical option for patients requiring effective intraocular pressure control with a lower risk profile.Advances in Contemporary Glaucoma Surgery: Innovations and Clinical ImpactThe field of glaucoma surgery has undergone remarkable transformation in recent years, driven by innovations aimed at improving efficacy, safety, and patient outcomes. This presentation will explore key advancements in surgical techniques, including the evolution of MIGS (Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery), the emergence of MIBS (Minimally Invasive Bleb Surgery), and improvements in conventional filtering procedures. Emphasis will be placed on how these innovations have influenced clinical decision-making, expanded surgical options across disease severity, and reshaped postoperative management. By examining current evidence and real-world outcomes, this talk aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the modern surgical landscape in glaucoma care and its practical implications for clinicians.
