Surgical Augmentation of the Suprachoroidal Space: A Novel Material and Implant

Microinvasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) has emerged as a safer method to lower IOP with minimal impact on patient quality of life compared to traditional glaucoma surgeries. With the advent of MIGS, there has been a renewed interest in exploring the suprachoroidal route. MIGS targeting the suprachoroi...

description Microinvasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) has emerged as a safer method to lower IOP with minimal impact on patient quality of life compared to traditional glaucoma surgeries. With the advent of MIGS, there has been a renewed interest in exploring the suprachoroidal route. MIGS targeting the suprachoroidal space allow for a safe reduction in IOP while sparing conjunctiva and allowing “blebless” surgery, thus avoiding bleb-related complications. This article aims to review the rationale behind the suprachoroidal MIGS procedures and the literature surrounding the efficacy and safety of a novel suprachoroidal device, the MINIject. The available literature has shown promising IOP lowering results with the MINIject implant with a potentially safer and less invasive approach than traditional glaucoma surgeries.
