Learn how trabecular bypass stents improve aqueous outflow by creating direct access through the trabecular meshwork into Schlemm’s canal.
In this episode of MIGS Made Clear, Dr. Constance Okeke explains the role of stent-based MIGS procedures and how they enhance conventional outflow.
This video covers:
• how trabecular bypass stents improve outflow • differences between iStent and Hydrus Microstent • how stent design impacts flow and positioning • where stents fit within MIGS surgical strategy
