Published purpose

Presenting early-stage glaucoma patients with a minimally invasive approach to lower intraocular pressure with a bleb-forming procedure as an alternative to traditional trabeculectomy or tube surgery. Minimally Invasive Bleb-Forming Punch (MIBP) uses a new, creative injector punch to drain the liquid out of the eye. The punch removes tissue creating a tunnel to allow the eye to drain without the need for an implant. This next generation glaucoma surgery is targeted to early-stage patients as an outpatient procedure. Although the MIBS devices depend on creating an external filtering bleb, they are associated with fewer risks than traditional glaucoma surgeries, offering a favorable safety profile procedure with faster recovery.
