Procedure Steps

Pre-op: visual field + OCT RNFL + gonioscopy + IOP

Combined with cataract surgery (most common indication)

Topical anesthesia + clear corneal incision

Phacoemulsification + IOL implantation as usual

Gonioprism placement on cornea for trabecular meshwork visualization

iStent inject W: 2 micro-stents implanted into Schlemm canal

Or Hydrus: single 8mm scaffold spanning 90° of canal

Same-day discharge with reduced glaucoma drops

What is MIGS?

Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (iStent inject W or Hydrus Microstent) bypasses the diseased trabecular meshwork to enhance aqueous outflow into Schlemm canal. Performed at the time of cataract surgery, it lowers IOP and reduces dependence on glaucoma drops without significant added risk.

Why China?

Cost (with cataract): $4,500-$7,500 vs. $10,000-$18,000 in the US
Available stents: iStent inject W and Hydrus available at top eye hospitals
Glaucoma volume: Major centers see 200+ glaucoma surgeries weekly
OCT-A integration: Real-time outflow assessment guides device choice

Who is a candidate?

Mild-to-moderate primary open-angle glaucoma
Concurrent visually significant cataract
On 1-3 glaucoma medications
Open angle on gonioscopy

Outcomes

IOP reduction: 20-30%. Medication reduction: 50-70% off all glaucoma drops. Safety profile equivalent to cataract surgery alone. Disease progression slowing: substantial in 5-year follow-up.
