Glaukos pioneered MIGS, which involves insertion of a micro-scale device from within the eye’s anterior chamber through a small corneal incision. Glaukos MIGS devices are designed to reduce IOP by restoring the natural outflow pathways for aqueous humor. In 2012, Glaukos received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval and launched its first MIGS device, the iStent Trabecular Micro-Bypass Stent.
