New 'Micro' eye surgery could ease glaucoma treatment
NCT ID NCT06213805
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new, less invasive surgery called MIMS for people with glaucoma. The goal was to see if it lowers eye pressure as well as traditional surgery but with fewer side effects. 23 adults with glaucoma took part. The results will help doctors understand if MIMS is a safer option for managing this chronic eye disease.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients ≥ 18 years old who agree to participate in the study having signed informed consent * Primary open-angle glaucoma, pseudoexfoliative glaucoma or pigmentary glaucoma with indication for glaucoma surgery (defined as uncontrolled intraocular pressure or worsening of visual fields, despite maximum tolerated medical therapy) and open iridocorneal angle ( trabecular meshwork visible on gonioscopy, Shaffer classification grade 3-4) and healthy and mobile conjunctiva (without scars or adhesions). * Chronic angle closure glaucoma with indication for combined glaucoma and cataract surgery Exclusion Criteria: * Presence of other ophthalmological pathologies (except cataract) * History of intraocular surgery (unless cataract surgery), history of trauma, or conjunctival scarring in the quadrant planned for surgery * Visual acuity lower than "counts fingers" ", closure of the iridocorneal angle (and angle-closure glaucoma unless associated cataract surgery), neovascular glaucoma or neovascularization of the iris, pachymetry \< 490 μm or \> 620 μm. * Presence of severe systemic pathologies, pregnant or breastfeeding woman
