Answer:

A recent study identified a list of 13 potential outcomes after a MIGS procedure. Can you guess which outcomes were deemed most desirable by patients? Arrange the following from most to least desired.

1. Having Control of IOP

2. Driving a car during the day.

3. Maintain mobility inside of the home.

4. Maintain mobility outside of the home.

5. Perceive Depth.

Participants highlighted that the most significant outcomes were “adequate IOP control” and “daytime driving,” while the least significant outcomes were “maintaining eye appearance” and “reducing the number of IOP-lowering drops”.1

Did you know?

Backed by 20 years of clinical data, Endoscopic Cyclophotocoagulation (ECP) is the only MIGS procedure that reduces aqueous inflow to lower IOP in patients with glaucoma. In fact, in a retrospective clinical study, ECP reduced IOP by 26% at 3 years when combined with phacoemulsification.2

Learn more about how ECP can help lower IOP among patients with mild to late-stage glaucoma – the most desired outcome by the provider and the patient.
