All MIGS have in common: increased cost of surgeriesBecause they all need a surgical device (1000 – 1800chf)

Take home message:XEN-gel Implant:
- Is a real MIGS- Offers low post-op pressure- Is followed by minimal complications- First day: good IOP and good vision- Long-term results to be yet studied
- Can be proposed - When medication is not well tolerated- When compliance is poor- In conjunction with phaco in patients with early glaucoma
- Should not be used in- In secondary glaucoma- In patients needing very low IOP- If you don’t like to do needliongs
Thank you for your attention
