At Benjamin Eye Institute, we pride ourselves in staying at the forefront of innovative eye care solutions, consistently delivering high-quality services to our patients. One such advanced solution we offer is the Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS), an effective treatment method that has significantly transformed the management of glaucoma.
Glaucoma, a leading cause of irreversible blindness, is often associated with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). MIGS is designed to reduce this pressure in a less invasive manner than traditional glaucoma surgeries, enhancing the patient's comfort and promoting a swift recovery.
MIGS techniques, such as the Streamline and OMNI procedures, are incredibly appealing because they don't necessitate leaving behind an implant or device. This feature dramatically reduces potential complications such as inflammation, infection, or erosion commonly associated with foreign bodies. Plus, the risk of hypotony, a condition of excessively low eye pressure, is also minimized due to the gentle nature of these procedures.
If you're considering cataract surgery and also have glaucoma, MIGS could be a valuable addition to your treatment plan. Many MIGS procedures can be performed at the same time as cataract surgery, streamlining your care and potentially eliminating the need for pressure-lowering eye drops.
To explore the potential of MIGS further, we invite you to consult your doctor or one of our experienced ophthalmologists at Benjamin Eye Institute. We believe in personalized care and will work closely with you to understand your specific needs and suggest the most suitable treatment options. If MIGS is right for you, you can trust our team to guide you every step of the way, ensuring you understand the process and feel comfortable with your decision.
Remember, every day we strive to help our patients see life in the best light possible. That's the Benjamin Eye Institute way!

Good news for individuals who have already received a glaucoma diagnosis. You see as long as the retina and the brain are communicating with one another through signals. You lose your sight when the conversation ends. So what, it would seem? Additionally, there is an opportunity to develop medicines based on this process, perhaps with gene therapy. Due to the disease's progression, this will aid in maintaining vision.
There will be no loud statements that ophthalmology has high hopes for marijuana. But we will not deny some effect on intraocular pressure in glaucoma. For more details read on!
According to a statistic, there is a 20% probability that you have glaucoma if you are over 65. Older than 70 – 30%. Older than 85 – 40%
However, there are specific ethnic groupings where the likelihood is higher. African-Americans, Russian Jews, Poles, Lithuanians, and other Eastern Europeans need routine check-ups because they are at a higher risk.
Glaucoma is an eye disease where the damage of the optic nerve takes place, casing high intraocular pressure. It is important to do a comprehensive eye exam every year to catch the symptoms of developing glaucoma early on. The earlier the diagnosis, the sooner you can start treatment.
