Efficacy and Safety of Minimally Invasive Micro-Sclerostomy (MIMS) in Glaucoma Surgery
The main objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of MIMS in patients with an indication for glaucoma surgery, compared to traditional surgery. The secondary objective is to assess safety. The investigating ophthalmologist will follow the patients and collect clinical data in order to identify the benefits and complications of MIMS. Patients are expected to experience fewer complications compared to traditional glaucoma surgery.

• Chronic angle closure glaucoma with indication for combined glaucoma and cataract surgery
