Subconjunctival microinvasive glaucoma surgeries: an update on the Xen gel stent and the PreserFlo MicroShunt.

Purpose Of Review: This review will provide an update on surgical techniques, outcomes, and complications for two new translimbal bleb-forming surgical glaucoma devices.

Recent Findings: The XEN Gel Microstent and PreserFlo MicroShunt comprise a category of subconjunctival microinvasive glaucoma surgery developed with the aim of improving the predictability and safety profile of bleb-forming procedures. Both devices are made of noninflammatory material which limits postsurgical inflammation and scarring and have a valve-less intrinsic flow-limiting design, which decreases the risk of hypotony.
