Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) has been successfully incorporated in clinical practice in recent years.Increasing evidence shows that it also plays an increasingly important role in the treatment of primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG).Surgical peripheral iridectomy (SPI) plus goniosynechialysis (GSL) and goniotomy (GT), as a new MIGS combination procedure, has been proven to be safe and effective in the treatment of PACG with no or mild cataracts.However, there is still a lack of uniform standards for indications and contraindications for the procedure.To address this issue, experts from Glaucoma Society of Ophthalmology, Guangdong Medical Association have developed a comprehensive expert recommendation on indications and contraindications for SPI+ GSL+ GT to standardize its application in clinical practice.
