Who Should Perform MIGS?

Show Description +

For the sake of a point/counterpoint discussion, Osamah Saeedi, MD, took the stance that microinvasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) should only be performed by glaucoma-fellowship trained residents. One reason, he says, is that they are better equipped to handle complications. In tomorrow's meeting coverage, Michael Patterson, DO, shares his stance in the debate.
