In 2040, it is estimated that more than 110 million people will have glaucoma. For this reason, there have been severe changes in the management of glaucoma in recent years. Although trabeculectomy is the gold standard in surgical treatment, many surgical methods have been defined as minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS).1 Most of these are surgical approaches with implants, but there are also MIGS techniques without implants. Compared to conventional filtration surgery, MIGS promises a faster recovery and fewer severe complications.2 It can be performed in combination with cataract surgery.3 This review will review the current literature on MIGS, and surgeries with and without implants will be discussed.
