Bridging Gaps in Glaucoma Care With Supraciliary MIGS
On MIGS Unplugged, H. George Tanaka, MD, sits down with hosts Iqbal Ike K. Ahmed, MD, FRCSC, and Arsham Sheybani, MD, to explain how supraciliary MIGS procedures can fill a niche in glaucoma patient care. Commenting on the use of AlloFlo (Iantrek) scleral spacers, Dr. Tanaka highlights the advantages of biocompatibility and shares insights into the best applications of this technology. The surgeons also review patient selection, clinical results, and how the risks and benefits of AlloFlo compare to those of other MIGS procedures.
iDose TR: Patient Selection, Procedure Pearls, and Clinical Benefits
On Glaucoma Case Files, Rachel G. Simpson, MD, and Roya Garakani, DO, discuss the role of the iDose TR (Glaukos) procedural pharmaceutical and offer pearls for patient selection and implantation. Dr. Simpson explains how sustained drug delivery options can benefit patients whose medication adherence is poor and minimize ocular surface side effects observed with topical drops. She comments on the use of iDose as a standalone intervention or in combination with surgery.
Reducing the Medication Burden for an Unhappy Patient
On Survey Says, a special edition of GT: The Podcast, guests Emily Schehlein, MD, and H. George Tanaka, MD, join host I. Paul Singh, MD, to review a case from his practice involving a patient with glaucoma and a history of selective laser trabeculoplasty and MIGS. Although the patient’s IOP is at target, she is unhappy with her topical medication regimen. The group discusses the importance of quality of life and weighs possible next steps, including sustained drug delivery, repeat laser therapy, surgery, or continuing as is. Later, the guests find out what Dr. Singh did, and they compare their opinions with the results of a social media poll of GT’s audience.
