What does this MIGS procedure combined with cataract surgery involve?

This procedure combines cataract removal with the implantation of a micro-invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) device, such as the iStent or Hydrus. During cataract surgery, a tiny stent is placed in the eye's natural drainage pathway to reduce intraocular pressure. The stent is smaller than a grain of rice and works by bypassing blocked drainage channels, allowing fluid to drain more effectively. The entire process is performed through the same small incision used for cataract surgery, adding minimal time to the procedure and requiring no additional incisions.
