Glaucoma affects around 1.1 million people in the UK, with approximately half remaining undiagnosed, and advances such as minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) are expanding treatment options for patients with mild to moderate disease. In this episode, optometrist Matt Roney and ophthalmologist Neeru Vallabh discuss the role of MIGS within the glaucoma care pathway, its use alongside cataract surgery, and how community optometrists can identify suitable patients for referral.
