Guidance Recommendation

The Ministry of Health’s Medical Technology Advisory Committee has recommended subsidy for minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) implants, as a standalone intervention or in conjunction with cataract surgery, for the treatment of patients with mild to moderate primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) who are not adequately responsive to or are intolerant of anti-glaucoma medication.

Funding status

MIGS implants are recommended for inclusion in the Medical Technology Subsidy List (MTSL). Only listed models are recommended for subsidy when used in line with the abovementioned recommendations.
