The main objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of MIMS in patients with an indication for glaucoma surgery, compared to traditional surgery. The secondary objective is to assess safety. The investigating ophthalmologist will follow the patients and collect clinical data in order to identify the benefits and complications of MIMS. Patients are expected to experience fewer complications compared to traditional glaucoma surgery.

MIMS is a filtering glaucoma surgery, which consists of creating a sclero-corneal drainage channel, to allow the flow of aqueous humor and therefore the reduction of intraocular pressure. This surgery is extremely quick, lasting 3 to 5 minutes, according to recent MIMS studies, in contrast to the duration of a trabeculectomy, the classic glaucoma surgery, which varies between 20 and 60 minutes.
