- A global milestone in glaucoma treatment has been achieved at the Army Hospital (Research and Referral) in Delhi with the successful performance of a pioneering minimally invasive glaucoma surgery.
- This procedure involved the world's first implantation of a Hydrus microstent—guided by intraoperative aqueous angiography—performed in conjunction with cataract surgery.
- This advanced surgical procedure was performed on March 10, 2026, utilizing state-of-the-art surgical instruments and imaging techniques.
- During this operation, a Heidelberg Retina Angiograph (HRA) was employed to visualize the aqueous outflow pathways in real-time.
- This innovative technique enables the precise and targeted placement of the implant within Schlemm's canal, thereby improving the drainage of aqueous fluid from the eye.
- By enhancing the natural drainage pathways, this procedure significantly improves treatment outcomes for patients suffering from glaucoma.
- This surgery represents a major advancement in the field of Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS).
