UPCOMING Webinars
Innovative Glaucoma Treatments: MIGS and More
Wednesday, April 12, 2023
3 pm – 4:15 pm ET
Join FBC as we talk to Dr. Patrick Gooi about innovative treatments for glaucoma. One of the new and exciting prospects in the treatment of glaucoma is called MIGS, or Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgeries. MIGS devices can be helpful in managing intraocular pressure in the early stages of glaucoma, thereby reducing patients’ reliance on medication. In addition to MIGS, we will discuss other innovative treatments being investigated.
There will be time for audience questions. You can ask them live, or email us in advance at education@fightingblindness.ca.
