What this trial studies

NorMIGS is an observational study that evaluates the effectiveness and complications of the Preserflo microshunt implantation compared to other glaucoma surgeries, such as trabeculectomy. Conducted at the Department of Ophthalmology at Oslo University Hospital, the study aims to gather data on intraocular pressure reduction and patient outcomes. Participants will be monitored for their ability to cooperate during examinations and provide informed consent. The study includes patients scheduled for various types of glaucoma surgery.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide insights into safer and more effective surgical options for glaucoma patients.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with micro-invasive glaucoma surgeries, indicating that this approach is gaining traction in the field.
