Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS): Economically Viable in Sub-Saharan Af rica
Abstract
Purpose: To brief describe an overview of different types of Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS); to analyse the economically viable MIGS in Africa and to identify the benefits of MIGS
Methods: Case presentations of Gonioscopy Assisted Transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT), Kahook Dual Blade (KDB)
