Abstract: Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) is a cutting-edge approach to treating glaucoma that provides a range of techniques and technology to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP). An 80-year-old man with visually significant cataracts and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) underwent combined cataract surgery and TrabEx+ (MicroSurgical Technology, Washington, United States) in his left eye, a unique type of MIGS, as we described in this study. Over the one-year follow-up, this patient showed improved visual function with well-controlled IOP without anti-glaucoma medications.
