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.

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.
