Chinese consensus on the selection of indications for minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (2023)

Currently, the amount of minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) is increasing every year in China.Minimally invasive and non-filtering bleb dependence has become a new trend in surgical development.With the introduction and innovation of new surgical techniques, a standardized classification of MIGS in China should be established and reasonable suggestions for the selection of surgical indications should be made on the basis of existing research to standardize the clinical application of MIGS techniques in China.The Glaucoma Group of the Ophthalmology Branch of Chinese Medical Association formed the Chinese consensus on the selection of indications for minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (2023) based on a literature review and expert discussion, and brought about the classification, indications, perioperative and postoperative management, as well as the prospect and future development direction of MIGS, aiming to promote the improvement of the treatment level of Chinese glaucoma surgery in the long run.
