[Strictly following the indications during the promotion of micro-invasive glaucoma surgeries]

Lots of new micro-invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS) are clinically available in recent two decades. The common characters of these surgeries are micro-invasive and non-filter bleb dependent. There are some problems during the promotion of the MIGS in China, like performing the MIGS with inappropriate indications. The MIGS procedures have more strict indications than traditional trabeculectomy and need more technical skills. To promote the popularization of MIGS and improve the clinical treatment of glaucoma, strictly following the indications and standardizing the surgical technique training are needed.
