This meeting has been divided into different sessions, one of them dedicated to glaucoma and coordinated by Dr. Antón. These sessions are the meeting point between ophthalmology professionals from all over the country. The aim is to discuss innovation, to find the way to look forward to futur and to emphasize the importance of raising awareness among the population about the need to prevent vision disorders.
As reported by these media, Dr. Antón stressed that “there are many issues in which there is not enough consensus among the experts, so it is very convenient to listen and share the experience and criteria of other professionals.”
Dr. Antón has emphasized the importance of the use of MIGS surgical treatments (minimally invasive), “less aggressive than traditional surgeries, since small implants are used and they require a much smaller surgical manipulation, allowing a faster recovery of the patient. “
Moreover, Dr. Antón explained that “there are always challenges to be met and I would emphasize greater control and prevention in those degenerative pathologies that, unfortunately, in the long term lead to a bad outcome, such as retinal or neural pathologies like glaucoma.
