⭐I found the clinical applications in this book to be easily accessible and something I can utilize when evaluating glaucoma patients who are ready for cataract surgery or progressing under traditional therapy. In this book, Dr. Okeke lays a framework for any provider to establish whether a patient is a good or sub-optimal candidate for trabectome, but in doing so, delivers so many clinical pearls, it will make you re-evaluate how you systematically examine your daily glaucoma patients. It is an excellent reference for trabectome, MIGS, and glaucoma care in general.

⭐Dr. Okeke offers step-by-step details of the process one should go through when contemplating not just Trabectome surgery, but her advice is relevant for any patient facing any Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery. As a glaucoma specialist myself, I found this book to be very informative for glaucoma surgeons who may be starting out with MIGS procedures as well. A great read!
