Excimer Laser Trabeculostomy
Cathleen McCabe, MD, joins MIGS Unplugged to discuss Elios excimer laser trabeculostomy (Bausch + Lomb) with hosts Arsham Sheybani, MD, and Iqbal Ike K. Ahmed, MD, FRCSC. Dr. McCabe reviews the mechanism of action of the laser and how it enables precise glaucoma treatment to enhance the natural outflow pathway. They discuss 8-year follow-up data and how this technology differs from other treatment approaches.
The Role of Anterior Segment OCT in MIGS
On GT: The Podcast, Neeru A. Vallabh, MBBS, FRCOphth, PhD, FEBOS-GL, recaps her article, “The Role of Anterior Segment OCT in MIGS,” which was featured in the March/April issue of Glaucoma Today. Dr. Vallabh explores how this mode of advanced imaging can enhance the patient evaluation and surgical results; she reviews its utility for preoperative evaluation and intraoperative adjustments and its ability to provide insights into postoperative outcomes.
“Involvement of the billing team and industry partners from day 1 is crucial. Device representatives and reimbursement specialists are resources the practice can —and should— call on to streamline preauthorization, coding guidelines, and staff training. This can help prevent delays and maximize both patient access to care and practice sustainability.”
