Abstract

Minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS) and non-penetrating glaucoma procedures have changed the surgical management of glaucoma in recent years and are being explored in the management of uveitic glaucoma. Deep sclerectomy, Xen45 gel stent, gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT), trabectome, and canaloplasty are described in the literature as alternative surgeries that may work for uveitic glaucoma. While most of the published studies are retrospective case series, the results suggest success even in refractory cases and with less inflammation than more traditional surgeries.

Keywords: MIGS; non-penetrating glaucoma procedures; uveitic glaucoma; uveitis.
