We report three cases demonstrating the efficacy and versatility of the micro-incision scleral tunnel (MIST) technique, a novel method for Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) tube insertion. MIST is characterized by its small incision, sutureless approach, anterior-to-posterior tunnel creation, and allograft-free design. The technique involves creating a scleral tunnel using a 1-mm crescent knife (Bleb Knife II), allowing for secure tube placement into the anterior chamber, ciliary sulcus, or vitreous cavity.
